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

لا محاباة بين المؤمنين

1يَا إِخْوَتِي، لاَ يَكُنْ لَكُمْ إِيمَانُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ، رَبِّ المَجْدِ، فِي المُحَابَاةِ.2فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ دَخَلَ إِلَى مَجْمَعِكُمْ رَجُلٌ بِخَوَاتِمِ ذَهَبٍ فِي لِبَاسٍ بَهِيٍّ وَدَخَلَ أَيْضاً فَقِيرٌ بِلِبَاسٍ وَسِخٍ،3فَنَظَرْتُمْ إِلَى اللاَّبِسِ اللِّبَاسَ الْبَهِيَّ وَقُلْتُمْ لَهُ: اجْلِسْ أَنْتَ هُنَا حَسَناً، وَقُلْتُمْ لِلْفَقِيرِ: قِفْ أَنْتَ هُنَاكَ أَوِ اجْلِسْ هُنَا تَحْتَ مَوْطِئِ قَدَمَيَّ،4فَهَلْ لاَ تَرْتَابُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَتَصِيرُونَ قُضَاةَ أَفْكَارٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ؟5اسْمَعُوا، يَا إِخْوَتِي الأَحِبَّاءَ، أَمَا اخْتَارَ اللهُ فُقَرَاءَ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ أَغْنِيَاءَ فِي الإِيمَانِ وَوَرَثَةَ المَلَكُوتِ الَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ، الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ؟6وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَأَهَنْتُمُ الْفَقِيرَ، أَلَيْسَ الأَغْنِيَاءُ يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهُمْ يَجُرُّونَكُمْ إِلَى المَحَاكِمِ؟7أَمَا هُمْ يُجَدِّفُونَ عَلَى الاِسْمِ الْحَسَنِ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ.8فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُكَمِّلُونَ النَّامُوسَ المُلُوكِيَّ حَسَبَ الْكِتَابِ: "تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ"، فَحَسَناً تَفْعَلُونَ،9وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحَابُونَ، تَفْعَلُونَ خَطِيَّةً مُوَبَّخِينَ مِنَ النَّامُوسِ كَمُتَعَدِّينَ.10لأَنَّ مَنْ حَفِظَ كُلَّ النَّامُوسِ وَإِنَّمَا عَثَرَ فِي وَاحِدَةٍ فَقَدْ صَارَ مُجْرِماً فِي الْكُلِّ.11لأَنَّ الَّذِي قَالَ: "لاَ تَزْنِ"، قَالَ أَيْضاً: "لاَ تَقْتُلْ"، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَزْنِ وَلَكِنْ قَتَلْتَ فَقَدْ صِرْتَ مُتَعَدِّياً النَّامُوسَ.12هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمُوا وَهَكَذَا افْعَلُوا كَعَتِيدِينَ أَنْ تُحَاكَمُوا بِنَامُوسِ الْحُرِّيَّةِ.13لأَنَّ الْحُكْمَ هُوَ بِلاَ رَحْمَةٍ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ رَحْمَةً، وَالرَّحْمَةُ تَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى الْحُكْمِ.

الإيمان دون أعمال ميّت

14مَا المَنْفَعَةُ، يَا إِخْوَتِي، إِنْ قَالَ أَحَدٌ، إِنَّ لَهُ إِيمَاناً وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَعْمَالٌ، هَلْ يَقْدِرُ الإِيمَانُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهُ؟15إِنْ كَانَ أَخٌ وَأُخْتٌ عُرْيَانَيْنِ وَمُعْتَازَيْنِ لِلْقُوتِ الْيَوْمِيِّ،16فَقَالَ لَهُمَا أَحَدُكُمُ: امْضِيَا بِسَلاَمٍ، اسْتَدْفِئَا وَاشْبَعَا، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تُعْطُوهُمَا حَاجَاتِ الْجَسَدِ، فَمَا المَنْفَعَةُ؟17هَكَذَا الإِيمَانُ أَيْضاً إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَعْمَالٌ، مَيِّتٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ.18لَكِنْ يَقُولُ قَائِلٌ: أَنْتَ لَكَ إِيمَانٌ وَأَنَا لِي أَعْمَالٌ، أَرِنِي إِيمَانَكَ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالِكَ وَأَنَا أُرِيكَ بِأَعْمَالِي إِيمَانِي.19أَنْتَ تُؤْمِنُ أَنَّ اللهَ وَاحِدٌ؟ حَسَناً تَفْعَلُ، وَالشَّيَاطِينُ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَيَقْشَعِرُّونَ.20وَلَكِنْ هَلْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ، أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ الْبَاطِلُ، أَنَّ الإِيمَانَ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتٌ؟21أَلَمْ يَتَبَرَّرْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبُونَا بِالأَعْمَالِ إِذْ قَدَّمَ إِسْحَاقَ ابْنَهُ عَلَى المَذْبَحِ؟22فَتَرَى أَنَّ الإِيمَانَ عَمِلَ مَعَ أَعْمَالِهِ وَبِالأَعْمَالِ أُكْمِلَ الإِيمَانُ،23وَتَمَّ الْكِتَابُ الْقَائِلُ: "فَآمَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِاللهِ فَحُسِبَ لَهُ بِرّاً وَدُعِيَ خَلِيلَ اللهِ".24تَرَوْنَ إِذاً أَنَّهُ بِالأَعْمَالِ يَتَبَرَّرُ الإِنْسَانُ، لاَ بِالإِيمَانِ وَحْدَهُ.25كَذَلِكَ رَاحَابُ الزَّانِيَةُ أَيْضاً، أَمَا تَبَرَّرَتْ بِالأَعْمَالِ إِذْ قَبِلَتِ الرُّسُلَ وَأَخْرَجَتْهُمْ فِي طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ؟26لأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ الْجَسَدَ بِدُونِ رُوحٍ مَيِّتٌ هَكَذَا الإِيمَانُ أَيْضاً بِدُونِ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتٌ.
