2:1 My 3450 brethren 80, have 2192 5720 not 3361 the faith 4102 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, [the Lord] of glory 1391, with 1722 respect of persons 4382.

2:2 For 1063 if 1437 there come 1525 5632 unto 1519 your 5216 assembly 4864 a man 435 with a gold ring 5554, in 1722 goodly 2986 apparel 2066, and 1161 there come in 1525 5632 also 2532 a poor man 4434 in 1722 vile 4508 raiment 2066;(assembly: Gr. synagogue)

2:3 And 2532 ye have respect 1914 5661 to 1909 him that weareth 5409 5723 the gay 2986 clothing 2066, and 2532 say 2036 5632 unto him 846, Sit 2521 5737 thou 4771 here 5602 in a good place 2573; and 2532 say 2036 5632 to the poor 4434, Stand 2476 5628 thou 4771 there 1563, or 2228 sit 2521 5737 here 5602 under 5259 my 3450 footstool 5286:(in…: or, well, or, seemly)

2:4 Are ye 1252 0 not 3756 then 2532 partial 1252 5681 in 1722 yourselves 1438, and 2532 are become 1096 5633 judges 2923 of evil 4190 thoughts 1261?

2:5 Hearken 191 5657, my 3450 beloved 27 brethren 80, Hath 1586 0 not 3756 God 2316 chosen 1586 5668 the poor 4434 of this 5127 world 2889 rich 4145 in 1722 faith 4102, and 2532 heirs 2818 of the kingdom 932 which 3739 he hath promised 1861 5662 to them that love 25 5723 him 846?(of the: or, of that)

2:6 But 1161 ye 5210 have despised 818 5656 the poor 4434. Do 2616 0 not 3756 rich men 4145 oppress 2616 5719 you 5216, and 2532 draw 846 1670 5719 you 5209 before 1519 the judgment seats 2922?

2:7 Do 987 0 not 3756 they 846 blaspheme 987 5719 that worthy 2570 name 3686 by 1909 the which ye 5209 are called 1941 5685?(blaspheme: or, revile, or, slander)

2:8 If 1487 3305 ye fulfil 5055 5719 the royal 937 law 3551 according to 2596 the scripture 1124, Thou shalt love 25 5692 thy 4675 neighbour 4139 as 5613 thyself 4572, ye do 4160 5719 well 2573:

2:9 But 1161 if 1487 ye have respect to persons 4380 5719, ye commit 2038 5736 sin 266, and are convinced 1651 5746 of 5259 the law 3551 as 5613 transgressors 3848.

2:10 For 1063 whosoever 3748 shall keep 5083 5692 the whole 3650 law 3551, and yet 1161 offend 4417 5692 in 1722 one 1520 [point], he is 1096 5754 guilty 1777 of all 3956.

2:11 For 1063 he that said 2036 5631, Do 3431 0 not 3361 commit adultery 3431 5661, said 2036 5627 also 2532, Do 5407 0 not 3361 kill 5407 5661. Now 1161 if 1487 thou commit 3431 0 no 3756 adultery 3431 5692, yet if 1161 thou kill 5407 5692, thou art become 1096 5754 a transgressor 3848 of the law 3551.(he that: or, that law which)

2:12 So 3779 speak ye 2980 5720, and 2532 so 3779 do 4160 5720, as 5613 they that shall be 3195 5723 judged 2919 5745 by 1223 the law 3551 of liberty 1657.

2:13 For 1063 he shall have judgment 2920 without mercy 448, that hath shewed 4160 5660 no 3361 mercy 1656; and 2532 mercy 1656 rejoiceth against 2620 5736 judgment 2920.(rejoiceth: or, glorieth)

2:14 What 5101 [doth it] profit 3786, my 3450 brethren 80, though 1437 a man 5100 say 3004 5725 he hath 2192 5721 faith 4102, and 1161 have 2192 5725 not 3361 works 2041? can 1410 5736 3361 faith 4102 save 4982 5658 him 846?

2:15 If 1437 1161 a brother 80 or 2228 sister 79 be 5225 5725 naked 1131, and 2532 destitute 3007 5746 5600 5753 of daily 2184 food 5160,

2:16 And 1161 one 5100 of 1537 you 5216 say 2036 5632 unto them 846, Depart 5217 5720 in 1722 peace 1515, be [ye] warmed 2328 5728 and 2532 filled 5526 5744; notwithstanding 1161 ye give 1325 5632 them 846 not 3361 those things which are needful 2006 to the body 4983; what 5101 [doth it] profit 3786?

2:17 Even 2532 so 3779 faith 4102, if 3362 0 it hath 2192 5725 not 3362 works 2041, is 2076 5748 dead 3498, being alone 2596 1438.(alone: Gr. by itself)

2:18 Yea 235, a man 5100 may say 2046 5692, Thou 4771 hast 2192 5719 faith 4102, and I 2504 have 2192 5719 works 2041: shew 1166 5657 me 3427 thy 4675 faith 4102 without 1537 thy 4675 works 2041, and I 2504 will shew 1166 5692 thee 4671 my 3450 faith 4102 by 1537 my 3450 works 2041.(without: some copies read, by)

2:19 Thou 4771 believest 4100 5719 that 3754 there is 2076 5748 one 1520 God 2316; thou doest 4160 5719 well 2573: the devils 1140 also 2532 believe 4100 5719, and 2532 tremble 5425 5719.

2:20 But 1161 wilt 2309 5719 thou know 1097 5629, O 5599 vain 2756 man 444, that 3754 faith 4102 without 5565 works 2041 is 2076 5748 dead 3498?

2:21 Was 1344 0 not 3756 Abraham 11 our 2257 father 3962 justified 1344 5681 by 1537 works 2041, when he had offered 399 5660 Isaac 2464 his 846 son 5207 upon 1909 the altar 2379?

2:22 Seest thou 991 5719 how 3754 faith 4102 wrought 4903 5707 with his 846 works 2041, and 2532 by 1537 works 2041 was 5048 0 faith 4102 made perfect 5048 5681?(Seest…: or, Thou seest)

2:23 And 2532 the scripture 1124 was fulfilled 4137 5681 which saith 3004 5723, 1161 Abraham 11 believed 4100 5656 God 2316, and 2532 it was imputed 3049 5681 unto him 846 for 1519 righteousness 1343: and 2532 he was called 2564 5681 the Friend 5384 of God 2316.

2:24 Ye see 3708 5719 then 5106 how that 3754 by 1537 works 2041 a man 444 is justified 1344 5743, and 2532 not 3756 by 1537 faith 4102 only 3440.

2:25 Likewise 3668 1161 also 2532 was 1344 0 not 3756 Rahab 4460 the harlot 4204 justified 1344 5681 by 1537 works 2041, when she had received 5264 5666 the messengers 32, and 2532 had sent [them] out 1544 5631 another 2087 way 3598?

2:26 For 1063 as 5618 the body 4983 without 5565 the spirit 4151 is 2076 5748 dead 3498, so 3779 faith 4102 without 5565 works 2041 is 2076 5748 dead 3498 also 2532.(spirit: or, breath)
