James 2:1--5:6

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) (5720)

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}

3:1

My
<3450>

brethren
<80>_,

be
<1096> (5737)

not
<3361>

many
<4183>

masters
<1320>_,

knowing
<1492> (5761)

that
<3754>

we shall receive
<2983> (5695)

the greater
<3187>

condemnation
<2917>_.

{condemnation: or, judgment}

3:2

For
<1063>

in many things
<4183>

we offend
<4417> (5719)

all
<537>_.

If any man
<1536>

offend
<4417> (5719)

not
<3756>

in
<1722>

word
<3056>_,

the same
<3778>

[is] a perfect
<5046>

man
<435>_,

[and] able
<1415>

also
<2532>

to bridle
<5468> (5658)

the whole
<3650>

body
<4983>_.

3:3

Behold
<2400> (5628)_,

we put
<906> (5719)

bits
<5469>

in
<1519>

the horses
<2462>_'

mouths
<4750>_,

that
<4314>

they
<846>

may obey
<3982> (5745)

us
<2254>_;

and
<2532>

we turn about
<3329> (5719)

their
<846>

whole
<3650>

body
<4983>_.

3:4

Behold
<2400> (5628)

also
<2532>

the ships
<4143>_,

which though [they be]
<5607> (5752)

so great
<5082>_,

and
<2532>

[are] driven
<1643> (5746)

of
<5259>

fierce
<4642>

winds
<417>_,

yet are they turned about
<3329> (5743)

with
<5259>

a very small
<1646>

helm
<4079>_,

whithersoever
<3699> <302>

the governor
<2116> (5723)

listeth
<3730> <1014> (5741)_.

3:5

Even
<2532>

so
<3779>

the tongue
<1100>

is
<2076> (5748)

a little
<3398>

member
<3196>_,

and
<2532>

boasteth great things
<3166> (5719)_.

Behold
<2400> (5628)_,

how great
<2245>

a matter
<5208>

a little
<3641>

fire
<4442>

kindleth
<381> (5719)_!

{a matter: or, wood}

3:6

And
<2532>

the tongue
<1100>

[is] a fire
<4442>_,

a world
<2889>

of iniquity
<93>_:

so
<3779>

is
<2525> (5743)

the tongue
<1100>

among
<1722>

our
<2257>

members
<3196>_,

that it defileth
<4695> (5723)

the whole
<3650>

body
<4983>_,

and
<2532>

setteth on fire
<5394> (5723)

the course
<5164>

of nature
<1078>_;

and
<2532>

it is set on fire
<5394> (5746)

of
<5259>

hell
<1067>_.

{course: Gr. wheel}

3:7

For
<1063>

every
<3956>

kind
<5449>

of beasts
<2342>_,

and
<5037> <2532>

of birds
<4071>_,

and
<5037>

of serpents
<2062>_,

and
<2532>

of things in the sea
<1724>_,

is tamed
<1150> (5743)_,

and
<2532>

hath been tamed
<1150> (5769)

of mankind
<5449> <442>_:

{kind: Gr. nature} {mankind: Gr. nature of man}

3:8

But
<1161>

the tongue
<1100>

can
<1410> (5736)

no
<3762>

man
<444>

tame
<1150> (5658)_;

[it is] an unruly
<183>

evil
<2556>_,

full
<3324>

of deadly
<2287>

poison
<2447>_.

3:9

Therewith
<1722> <846>

bless we
<2127> (5719)

God
<2316>_,

even
<2532>

the Father
<3962>_;

and
<2532>

therewith
<1722> <846>

curse we
<2672> (5736)

men
<444>_,

which
<3588>

are made
<1096> (5756)

after
<2596>

the similitude
<3669>

of God
<2316>_.

3:10

Out of
<1537>

the same
<846>

mouth
<4750>

proceedeth
<1831> (5736)

blessing
<2129>

and
<2532>

cursing
<2671>_.

My
<3450>

brethren
<80>_,

these things
<5023>

ought
<5534> (5724)

not
<3756>

so
<3779>

to be
<1096> (5738)_.

3:11

Doth
<3385>

a fountain
<4077>

send forth
<1032> (5719)

at
<1537>

the same
<846>

place
<3692>

sweet
<1099>

[water] and
<2532>

bitter
<4089>_?

{place: or, hole}

3:12

Can
<3361> <1410> (5736)

the fig tree
<4808>_,

my
<3450>

brethren
<80>_,

bear
<4160> (5658)

olive berries
<1636>_?

either
<2228>

a vine
<288>_,

figs
<4810>_?

so
<3779>

[can] no
<3762>

fountain
<4077>

both yield
<4160> (5658)

salt
<252>

water
<5204>

and
<2532>

fresh
<1099>_.

3:13

Who
<5101>

[is] a wise man
<4680>

and
<2532>

endued with knowledge
<1990>

among
<1722>

you
<5213>_?

let him shew
<1166> (5657)

out of
<1537>

a good
<2570>

conversation
<391>

his
<846>

works
<2041>

with
<1722>

meekness
<4240>

of wisdom
<4678>_.

3:14

But
<1161>

if
<1487>

ye have
<2192> (5719)

bitter
<4089>

envying
<2205>

and
<2532>

strife
<2052>

in
<1722>

your
<5216>

hearts
<2588>_,

glory
<2620> (5737)

not
<3361>_,

and
<2532>

lie not
<5574> (5732)

against
<2596>

the truth
<225>_.

3:15

This
<3778>

wisdom
<4678>

descendeth
<2076> (5748) <2718> (5740)

not
<3756>

from above
<509>_,

but
<235>

[is] earthly
<1919>_,

sensual
<5591>_,

devilish
<1141>_.

{sensual: or, natural}

3:16

For
<1063>

where
<3699>

envying
<2205>

and
<2532>

strife
<2052>

[is], there
<1563>

[is] confusion
<181>

and
<2532>

every
<3956>

evil
<5337>

work
<4229>_.

{confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness}

3:17

But
<1161>

the wisdom
<4678>

that is from above
<509>

is
<2076> (5748)

first
<4412>

pure
<3303> <53>_,

then
<1899>

peaceable
<1516>_,

gentle
<1933>_,

[and] easy to be intreated
<2138>_,

full
<3324>

of mercy
<1656>

and
<2532>

good
<18>

fruits
<2590>_,

without partiality
<87>_,

and
<2532>

without hypocrisy
<505>_.

{partiality: or, wrangling}

3:18

And
<1161>

the fruit
<2590>

of righteousness
<1343>

is sown
<4687> (5743)

in
<1722>

peace
<1515>

of them that make
<4160> (5723)

peace
<1515>_.

4:1

From whence
<4159>

[come] wars
<4171>

and
<2532>

fightings
<3163>

among
<1722>

you
<5213>_?

[come they] not
<3756>

hence
<1782>_,

[even] of
<1537>

your
<5216>

lusts
<2237>

that war
<4754> (5734)

in
<1722>

your
<5216>

members
<3196>_?

{fightings: or, brawlings} {lusts: or, pleasures}

4:2

Ye lust
<1937> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

have
<2192> (5719)

not
<3756>_:

ye kill
<5407> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

desire to have
<2206> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

cannot
<3756> <1410> (5736)

obtain
<2013> (5629)_:

ye fight
<3164> (5736)

and
<2532>

war
<4170> (5719)_,

yet
<1161>

ye have
<2192> (5719)

not
<3756>_,

because
<1223>

ye
<5209>

ask
<154> (5733)

not
<3361>_.

4:3

Ye ask
<154> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

receive
<2983> (5719)

not
<3756>_,

because
<1360>

ye ask
<154> (5731)

amiss
<2560>_,

that
<2443>

ye may consume
<1159> (5661)

[it] upon
<1722>

your
<5216>

lusts
<2237>_.

{lusts: or, pleasures}

4:4

Ye adulterers
<3432>

and
<2532>

adulteresses
<3428>_,

know ye
<1492> (5758)

not
<3756>

that
<3754>

the friendship
<5373>

of the world
<2889>

is
<2076> (5748)

enmity
<2189>

with God
<2316>_?

whosoever
<3739> <302>

therefore
<3767>

will be
<1511> (5750) <1014> (5680)

a friend
<5384>

of the world
<2889>

is
<2525> (5743)

the enemy
<2190>

of God
<2316>_.

4:5

<2228>@ Do ye think
<1380> (5719)

that
<3754>

the scripture
<1124>

saith
<3004> (5719)

in vain
<2761>_,

The spirit
<4151>

that
<3739>

dwelleth
<2730> (5656)

in
<1722>

us
<2254>

lusteth
<1971> (5719)

to
<4314>

envy
<5355>_?

{to envy: or, enviously?}

4:6

But
<1161>

he giveth
<1325> (5719)

more
<3187>

grace
<5485>_.

Wherefore
<1352>

he saith
<3004> (5719)_,

God
<2316>

resisteth
<498> (5731)

the proud
<5244>_,

but
<1161>

giveth
<1325> (5719)

grace
<5485>

unto the humble
<5011>_.

4:7

Submit yourselves
<5293> (5649)

therefore
<3767>

to God
<2316>_.

Resist
<436> (5628)

the devil
<1228>_,

and
<2532>

he will flee
<5343> (5695)

from
<575>

you
<5216>_.

4:8

Draw nigh
<1448> (5657)

to God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

he will draw nigh
<1448> (5692)

to you
<5213>_.

Cleanse
<2511> (5657)

[your] hands
<5495>_,

[ye] sinners
<268>_;

and
<2532>

purify
<48> (5657)

[your] hearts
<2588>_,

[ye] double minded
<1374>_.

4:9

Be afflicted
<5003> (5657)_,

and
<2532>

mourn
<3996> (5657)_,

and
<2532>

weep
<2799> (5657)_:

let your
<5216>

laughter
<1071>

be turned
<3344> (5649)

to
<1519>

mourning
<3997>_,

and
<2532>

[your] joy
<5479>

to
<1519>

heaviness
<2726>_.

4:10

Humble yourselves
<5013> (5682)

in the sight
<1799>

of the Lord
<2962>_,

and
<2532>

he shall lift
<5312> (0)

you
<5209>

up
<5312> (5692)_.

4:11

Speak
<2635> (0)

not
<3361>

evil
<2635> (5720)

one of another
<240>_,

brethren
<80>_.

He that speaketh evil
<2635> (5723)

of [his] brother
<80>_,

and
<2532>

judgeth
<2919> (5723)

his
<846>

brother
<80>_,

speaketh evil
<2635> (5719)

of the law
<3551>_,

and
<2532>

judgeth
<2919> (5719)

the law
<3551>_:

but
<1161>

if
<1487>

thou judge
<2919> (5719)

the law
<3551>_,

thou art
<1488> (5748)

not
<3756>

a doer
<4163>

of the law
<3551>_,

but
<235>

a judge
<2923>_.

4:12

There is
<2076> (5748)

one
<1520>

lawgiver
<3550>_,

who
<3588>

is able
<1410> (5740)

to save
<4982> (5658)

and
<2532>

to destroy
<622> (5658)_:

who
<5101>

art
<1488> (5748)

thou
<4771>

that
<3739>

judgest
<2919> (5719)

another
<2087>_?

4:13

Go to
<33> (5720)

now
<3568>_,

ye that say
<3004> (5723)_,

To day
<4594>

or
<2532>

to morrow
<839>

we will go
<4198> (5667)

into
<1519>

such
<3592>

a city
<4172>_,

and
<2532>

continue
<4160> (5661) (5625) <4160> (5692)

there
<1563>

a
<1520>

year
<1763>_,

and
<2532>

buy and sell
<1710> (5667) (5625) <1710> (5695)_,

and
<2532>

get gain
<2770> (5661) (5625) <2770> (5692)_:

4:14

Whereas
<3748>

ye know
<1987> (5736)

not
<3756>

what
<3588>

[shall be] on the morrow
<839>_.

For
<1063>

what
<4169>

[is] your
<5216>

life
<2222>_?

It is
<2076> (5748)

even
<1063>

a vapour
<822>_,

that
<4314>

appeareth for
<5316> (5730)

a little time
<3641>_,

and
<1161>

then
<1899>

vanisheth away
<853> (5746)_.

{It...: or, For it is}

4:15

For that
<473>

ye
<5209>

[ought] to say
<3004> (5721)_,

If
<1437>

the Lord
<2962>

will
<2309> (5661)_,

<2532>

we shall live
<2198> (5661) (5625) <2198> (5692)_,

and
<2532>

do
<4160> (5661) (5625) <4160> (5692)

this
<5124>_,

or
<2228>

that
<1565>_.

4:16

But
<1161>

now
<3568>

ye rejoice
<2744> (5736)

in
<1722>

your
<5216>

boastings
<212>_:

all
<3956>

such
<5108>

rejoicing
<2746>

is
<2076> (5748)

evil
<4190>_.

4:17

Therefore
<3767>

to him that knoweth
<1492> (5761)

to do
<4160> (5721)

good
<2570>_,

and
<2532>

doeth
<4160> (5723)

[it] not
<3361>_,

to him
<846>

it is
<2076> (5748)

sin
<266>_.

5:1

Go to
<33> (5720)

now
<3568>_,

[ye] rich men
<4145>_,

weep
<2799> (5657)

and howl
<3649> (5723)

for
<1909>

your
<5216>

miseries
<5004>

that shall come upon
<1904> (5740)

[you].

5:2

Your
<5216>

riches
<4149>

are corrupted
<4595> (5754)_,

and
<2532>

your
<5216>

garments
<2440>

are
<1096> (5754)

motheaten
<4598>_.

5:3

Your
<5216>

gold
<5557>

and
<2532>

silver
<696>

is cankered
<2728> (5769)_;

and
<2532>

the rust
<2447>

of them
<846>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

a witness
<3142>

against
<1519>

you
<5213>_,

and
<2532>

shall eat
<5315> (5695)

your
<5216>

flesh
<4561>

as it were
<5613>

fire
<4442>_.

Ye have heaped treasure together
<2343> (5656)

for
<1722>

the last
<2078>

days
<2250>_.

5:4

Behold
<2400> (5628)_,

the hire
<3408>

of the labourers
<2040>

who
<3588>

have reaped down
<270> (5660)

your
<5216>

fields
<5561>_,

which
<3588>

is of
<575>

you
<5216>

kept back by fraud
<650> (5772)_,

crieth
<2896> (5719)_:

and
<2532>

the cries
<995>

of them which have reaped
<2325> (5660)

are entered
<1525> (5754)

into
<1519>

the ears
<3775>

of the Lord
<2962>

of sabaoth
<4519>_.

{sabaoth: Heb. hosts}

5:5

Ye have lived in pleasure
<5171> (5656)

on
<1909>

the earth
<1093>_,

and
<2532>

been wanton
<4684> (5656)_;

ye have nourished
<5142> (5656)

your
<5216>

hearts
<2588>_,

as
<5613>

in
<1722>

a day
<2250>

of slaughter
<4967>_.

5:6

Ye have condemned
<2613> (5656)

[and] killed
<5407> (5656)

the just
<1342>_;

[and] he doth
<498> (0)

not
<3756>

resist
<498> (5731)

you
<5213>_.
