\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-1|1]] My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-2|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;
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-3|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:
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-4|4]] Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-5|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?
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-6|6]] But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-7|7]] Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-8|8]] If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-9|9]] But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-10|10]] For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-11|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.
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-12|12]] So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-13|13]] For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-14|14]] What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-15|15]] If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-16|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?
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-17|17]] Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-18|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.
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-19|19]] Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-20|20]] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-21|21]] Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-22|22]] Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-23|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.
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-24|24]] Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-25|25]] Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
\\ [[commentaar:jakobus2-26|26]] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
