Изпитание на братската любов
2 (A)Братя мои, да не държите вярата на прославения наш Господ Исус Христос с лицеприятие.
2 Защото ако влезе в синагогата ви човек със златен пръстен и с хубави дрехи, а влезе и сиромах със зацапани дрехи,
3 и погледнете с почит към онзи, който е с хубавите дрехи, и кажете: Ти седни тук на добро място; а на сиромаха кажете: Ти стой там, или: Седни до подножието ми,
4 не правите ли различия помежду им и не ставате ли пристрастни съдии?
5 (B)Слушайте, възлюбени мои братя: Не избра ли Бог онези, които са сиромаси в светските неща, но богати с вяра и наследници на царството, което е обещал на тези, които Го обичат?
6 (C)А вие презряхте сиромаха. Нали богатите ви угнетяват и те ви влачат по съдилища?
7 Нали те хулят почтеното име, с което се наричате?
8 (D)Обаче ако изпълнявате царския закон, според Писанието: „Да обичаш ближния си като себе си“, добре правите.
9 (E)Но ако гледате на лице, грях правите и от закона се осъждате като престъпници.
10 (F)Защото който опази целия закон, а съгреши в едно нещо, бива виновен във всичко.
11 (G)Понеже Онзи, Който е казал: „Не прелюбодействай“, казал е и: „Не убивай“, така че ако не прелюбодействаш, а пък убиваш, станал си престъпник пред закона.
12 (H)Така говорете и така постъпвайте, като човеци, които ще бъдат съдени по закона на свободата.
13 (I)Защото съдът е немилостив към този, който не е показал милост. Милостта тържествува над съда.
Вяра и дела
14 (J)Каква полза, братя мои, ако някой казва, че има вяра, а няма дела? Може ли такава вяра да го спаси?
15 (K)Ако някой брат или някоя сестра са голи и останали без ежедневна храна
16 (L)и някой от вас им каже: Идете си с мир, дано бъдете стоплени и нахранени, а не им дадете потребното за тялото, каква полза?
17 Така и вярата, ако няма дела, сама по себе си е мъртва.
18 (M)Но ще каже някой: Ти имаш вяра, а пък аз имам дела; ако можеш, покажи ми вярата си без дела и аз ще ти покажа вярата си от моите дела.
19 (N)Ти вярваш, че има само един Бог, добре правиш; и бесовете вярват и треперят.
20 Обаче искаш ли да познаеш, о, суетни човече, че вяра без дела е безплодна?
21 (O)Авраам, нашият отец, не се ли оправда чрез дела, като принесе сина си Исаак на жертвеника?
22 (P)Ти виждаш, че вярата действаше заедно с делата му и че чрез делата се усъвършенства вярата;
23 (Q)и се изпълни Писанието, което казва: „Авраам повярва в Бога; и това му се вмени за правда“; и се нарече Божий приятел.
24 Виждате, че чрез дела се оправдава човек, а не само чрез вяра.
25 (R)Така също и блудницата Раав не се ли оправда чрез дела, когато прие пратениците и ги изпрати бързо през друг път?
26 Защото, както тялото без дух е мъртво, така и вярата без дела е мъртва.

Favoritism Forbidden
2 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious(A) Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism.(B) 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges(C) with evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters:(D) Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world(E) to be rich in faith(F) and to inherit the kingdom(G) he promised those who love him?(H) 6 But you have dishonored the poor.(I) Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?(J) 7 Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong?
8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”[a](K) you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism,(L) you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.(M) 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles(N) at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.(O) 11 For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,”[b](P) also said, “You shall not murder.”[c](Q) If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged(R) by the law that gives freedom,(S) 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful.(T) Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Faith and Deeds
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds?(U) Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.(V) 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?(W) 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.(X)
18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds,(Y) and I will show you my faith(Z) by my deeds.(AA) 19 You believe that there is one God.(AB) Good! Even the demons believe that(AC)—and shudder.
20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[d]?(AD) 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?(AE) 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together,(AF) and his faith was made complete by what he did.(AG) 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”[e](AH) and he was called God’s friend.(AI) 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?(AJ) 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.(AK)

Warning Against Partiality
2 My brothers, have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ without showing favoritism. 2 For example, suppose a man enters your worship assembly[a] wearing gold rings and fine clothing, and a poor man also enters wearing filthy clothing. 3 If you look with favor on the man wearing fine clothing and say, “Sit here in this good place,” but you tell the poor man, “Stand over there” or “Sit down here[b] at my feet,” 4 have you not made a distinction among yourselves and become judges with evil opinions? 5 Listen, my dear brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to those who love him? 6 But you dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and don’t they drag you into court? 7 Aren’t they the ones who blaspheme the noble name that was pronounced over you? 8 However, if you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,”[c] you are doing well. 9 But if you show favoritism, you are committing a sin, since you are convicted by this law as transgressors.
Keep the Whole Law
10 In fact, whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles in one point has become guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For the one who said, “Do not commit adultery,”[d] also said, “Do not commit murder.”[e] Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law of freedom. 13 For there will be judgment without mercy on the one who has not shown mercy. Mercy triumphs[f] over judgment.
Faith Is Active
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says that he has faith but has no works? Such “faith” cannot save him, can it? 15 If a brother or sister needs clothes and lacks daily food 16 and one of you tells them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but does not give them what their body needs, what good is it? 17 So also, such “faith,” if it is alone and has no works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19 You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder! 20 But do you want proof, you mindless person, that such “faith” without works is dead?[g] 21 Wasn’t Abraham our father shown to be righteous by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that his faith was working together with his works, and by his works his faith was shown to be complete. 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[h] He was also called God’s friend.[i] 24 You see[j] that a person is shown to be righteous by works and not by faith alone.
25 In the same way also, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute shown to be righteous by works when she welcomed the spies and sent them out another way? 26 For just as the body without breath[k] is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
