2 Suppose a|strong="G2532" man|strong="G4434" in|strong="G1722" fine|strong="G2986" clothing|strong="G2066" comes|strong="G1525" into|strong="G1519" your|strong="G1437" assembly|strong="G4864" wearing a|strong="G2532" gold|strong="G5554" ring|strong="G5554", and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" poor|strong="G4434" man|strong="G4434" in|strong="G1722" filthy|strong="G4508" clothing|strong="G2066" also|strong="G2532" comes|strong="G1525" in|strong="G1722".
3 If|strong="G2532" you|strong="G4771" pay|strong="G1914" attention|strong="G1914" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G4434" who|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" wearing|strong="G5409" fine|strong="G2986" clothing|strong="G2066" and|strong="G2532" say|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588", “Yoʋ sit|strong="G2521" here|strong="G5602" in|strong="G1909" a|strong="G2532" good|strong="G2573" place|strong="G1563",” but|strong="G1161" you|strong="G4771" say|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" poor|strong="G4434" man|strong="G4434", “Yoʋ stand|strong="G2476" there|strong="G1563", or|strong="G2228" sit|strong="G2521" here|strong="G5602" under|strong="G5259" my|strong="G1473" footstool|strong="G5286",”
4 have|strong="G2532" you|strong="G1722" not|strong="G3756" made|strong="G1096" distinctions|strong="G1252" among|strong="G1722" yourselves|strong="G1438" and|strong="G2532" become|strong="G1096" judges|strong="G2923" with|strong="G1722" evil|strong="G4190" thoughts|strong="G1261"?
5 Listen, my|strong="G1722" beloved brothers, has|strong="G2316" not|strong="G3756" God|strong="G2316" chosen|strong="G1586" the|strong="G1722" poor|strong="G4434" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G1722" world|strong="G2889" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" rich|strong="G4145" in|strong="G1722" faith|strong="G4102" and|strong="G2532" heirs|strong="G2818" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G1722" kingdom that|strong="G3739" he|strong="G2532" has|strong="G2316" promised|strong="G1861" to|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3739" love him|strong="G3588"?
6 But|strong="G1161" you|strong="G5210" have|strong="G2532" dishonored the|strong="G2532" poor|strong="G4434" man|strong="G4145". Is|strong="G3588" it|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" the|strong="G2532" rich|strong="G4145" who|strong="G3588" oppress|strong="G2616" you|strong="G5210"? Are|strong="G3588" they|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" the|strong="G2532" ones who|strong="G3588" drag|strong="G1670" you|strong="G5210" into|strong="G1519" court|strong="G2922"?
7 Do|strong="G3588" they|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" blaspheme the|strong="G1909" good|strong="G2570" name|strong="G3686" by|strong="G1909" which|strong="G3588" you|strong="G5210" are|strong="G3588" called|strong="G1941"?
8 If|strong="G1487" you|strong="G4771" really fulfill the|strong="G2596" royal law|strong="G3551" according|strong="G2596" to|strong="G2596" the|strong="G2596" Scripture|strong="G1124", “Yoʋ shall|strong="G4160" love yoʋr neighbor|strong="G4139" as|strong="G5613" yoʋrself,” you|strong="G4771" do|strong="G4160" well|strong="G2573".
9 But|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1487" you|strong="G1487" show|strong="G4380" partiality|strong="G4380", you|strong="G1487" commit|strong="G2038" sin and|strong="G1161" are|strong="G3588" convicted|strong="G1651" by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G1161" law|strong="G3551" as|strong="G5613" transgressors|strong="G3848".
10 For|strong="G1063" whoever|strong="G3748" keeps|strong="G5083" the|strong="G1722" entire|strong="G3650" law|strong="G3551" but|strong="G1161" stumbles|strong="G4417" in|strong="G1722" one|strong="G1520" point has|strong="G1096" become|strong="G1096" guilty|strong="G1777" of|strong="G3551" it|strong="G1161" all|strong="G3956".
11 For|strong="G1063" he|strong="G2532" who|strong="G3588" said|strong="G3004", “Do|strong="G1096" not|strong="G3756" commit|strong="G3431" adultery|strong="G3431",” also|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", “Do|strong="G1096" not|strong="G3756" murder|strong="G5407".” Now|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1487" yoʋ do|strong="G1096" not|strong="G3756" commit|strong="G3431" adultery|strong="G3431" but|strong="G1161" do|strong="G1096" commit|strong="G3431" murder|strong="G5407", yoʋ have|strong="G2532" become|strong="G1096" a|strong="G1096" transgressor|strong="G3848" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551".
12 Speak|strong="G2980" and|strong="G2532" act|strong="G4160" as|strong="G5613" people|strong="G2919" who|strong="G2532" will|strong="G3195" be|strong="G2532" judged|strong="G2919" by|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551" of|strong="G1223" liberty|strong="G1657".
13 For|strong="G1063" judgment|strong="G2920" is|strong="G3588" without|strong="G3361" mercy|strong="G1656" to|strong="G3361" anyone who|strong="G3588" has|strong="G2920" not|strong="G3361" shown|strong="G4160" mercy|strong="G1656"; mercy|strong="G1656" is|strong="G3588" exalted over|strong="G2620" judgment|strong="G2920".
14 What|strong="G5101" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1161" benefit, my|strong="G1473" brothers, if|strong="G1437" someone|strong="G5100" claims|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" have|strong="G2192" faith|strong="G4102" but|strong="G1161" does|strong="G2192" not|strong="G3361" have|strong="G2192" works|strong="G2041"? Can|strong="G1410" that|strong="G3588" faith|strong="G4102" save|strong="G4982" him|strong="G3588"?
15 If|strong="G1437" a|strong="G2532" brother or|strong="G2228" sister is|strong="G3588" poorly clothed and|strong="G2532" lacks|strong="G3007" daily|strong="G2184" food|strong="G5160",

17 In|strong="G2596" the|strong="G2532" same|strong="G3779" way|strong="G3779" faith|strong="G4102" by|strong="G2596" itself|strong="G1438", if|strong="G1437" it|strong="G2532" does|strong="G2192" not|strong="G3361" have|strong="G2192" works|strong="G2041", is|strong="G1510" dead|strong="G3498".
18 But|strong="G3588" someone|strong="G5100" will|strong="G1473" say|strong="G3004", “Yoʋ have|strong="G2192" faith|strong="G4102", and|strong="G4102" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G2192" works|strong="G2041".” Show|strong="G1166" me|strong="G1473" yoʋr faith|strong="G4102" by|strong="G1537" yoʋr works|strong="G2041", and|strong="G4102" I|strong="G1473", by|strong="G1537" my|strong="G1473" works|strong="G2041", will|strong="G1473" show|strong="G1166" yoʋ my|strong="G1473" faith|strong="G4102".
19 Do|strong="G4160" yoʋ believe|strong="G4100" that|strong="G3754" God|strong="G2316" is|strong="G1510" one|strong="G1520"? Yoʋ do|strong="G4160" well|strong="G2573"; even|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" demons|strong="G1140" believe|strong="G4100"—and|strong="G2532" shudder|strong="G5425"!

21 Was|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" our|strong="G1537" father|strong="G3962" Abraham justified|strong="G1344" by|strong="G1537" works|strong="G2041" when|strong="G2041" he|strong="G3588" offered his|strong="G1909" son|strong="G5207" Isaac|strong="G2464" on|strong="G1909" the|strong="G1537" altar|strong="G2379"?
22 Do|strong="G2532" yoʋ see how|strong="G3754" faith|strong="G4102" was|strong="G3588" active along|strong="G2532" with|strong="G1537" his|strong="G2532" works|strong="G2041", and|strong="G2532" by|strong="G1537" works|strong="G2041" his|strong="G2532" faith|strong="G4102" was|strong="G3588" brought|strong="G3748" to|strong="G2532" completion?
23 And|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Scripture|strong="G1124" was|strong="G3588" fulfilled|strong="G4137" that|strong="G3588" says|strong="G3004", “Abraham|strong="G4100" believed|strong="G4100" God|strong="G2316", and|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" counted|strong="G3049" to|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588" as|strong="G1519" righteousness|strong="G1343",” and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" called|strong="G2564" a|strong="G2532" friend|strong="G5384" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316".
24 You|strong="G3754" see|strong="G3708" then|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" a|strong="G2532" person is|strong="G3748" justified|strong="G1344" by|strong="G1537" works|strong="G2041", and|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" by|strong="G1537" faith|strong="G4102" alone|strong="G3441".
