| 2:1 | My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. |
| 2:2 | For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; |
| 2:3 | And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: |
| 2:4 | Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? |
| 2:5 | Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? |
| 2:5 | 我親愛的弟兄們請聽、 神豈不是揀選了世上的貧窮人、叫他們在信上富足、並承受他所應許給那些愛他之人的國麼。 |
| 2:5 | 我亲爱的弟兄们请听，神岂不是拣选了世上的贫穷人，叫他们在信上富足，并承受他所应许给那些爱他之人的国麽。 |
| 1co:1:27 | But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; |
| 1co:1:28 | And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: |
| job:34:19 | How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands. |
| luk:12:21 | So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. |
| 2co:8:9 | For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. |
| 1ti:6:18 | That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; |
| rev:2:9 | I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. |
| 1co:2:9 | But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. |
| jas:1:12 | Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. |
| mat:25:34 | Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: |
| luk:12:32 | Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. |

| 2:6 | But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? |
| 2:7 | Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? |
| 2:8 | If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: |
| 2:9 | But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. |
| 2:10 | For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. |
| 2:11 | For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. |
| 2:12 | So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. |
| 2:13 | For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. |
| 2:14 | What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? |
| 2:15 | If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, |
| 2:16 | And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? |
| 2:17 | Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. |
| 2:18 | Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. |
| 2:19 | Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. |
| 2:20 | But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? |
| 2:21 | Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? |
| 2:22 | Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? |
| 2:23 | And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. |
| 2:24 | Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. |
| 2:25 | Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? |
| 2:26 | For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. |
