2 Mes frères, que votre foi en notre glorieux Seigneur Jésus Christ soit exempte de toute acception de personnes.
2 Supposez, en effet, qu'il entre dans votre assemblée un homme avec un anneau d'or et un habit magnifique, et qu'il y entre aussi un pauvre misérablement vêtu;
3 si, tournant vos regards vers celui qui porte l'habit magnifique, vous lui dites: Toi, assieds-toi ici à cette place d'honneur! et si vous dites au pauvre: Toi, tiens-toi là debout! ou bien: Assieds-toi au-dessous de mon marche-pied,
4 ne faites vous pas en vous-mêmes une distinction, et ne jugez-vous pas sous l'inspiration de pensées mauvaises?
5 Écoutez, mes frères bien-aimés: Dieu n'a-t-il pas choisi les pauvres aux yeux du monde, pour qu'ils soient riches en la foi, et héritiers du royaume qu'il a promis à ceux qui l'aiment?
6 Et vous, vous avilissez le pauvre! Ne sont-ce pas les riches qui vous oppriment, et qui vous traînent devant les tribunaux?
7 Ne sont-ce pas eux qui outragent le beau nom que vous portez?
8 Si vous accomplissez la loi royale, selon l'Écriture: Tu aimeras ton prochain comme toi-même, vous faites bien.
9 Mais si vous faites acception de personnes, vous commettez un péché, vous êtes condamnés par la loi comme des transgresseurs.
10 Car quiconque observe toute la loi, mais pèche contre un seul commandement, devient coupable de tous.
11 En effet, celui qui a dit: Tu ne commettras point d'adultère, a dit aussi: Tu ne tueras point. Or, si tu ne commets point d'adultère, mais que tu commettes un meurtre, tu deviens transgresseur de la loi.
12 Parlez et agissez comme devant être jugés par une loi de liberté,
13 car le jugement est sans miséricorde pour qui n'a pas fait miséricorde. La miséricorde triomphe du jugement.
14 Mes frère, que sert-il à quelqu'un de dire qu'il a la foi, s'il n'a pas les oeuvres? La foi peut-elle le sauver?
15 Si un frère ou une soeur sont nus et manquent de la nourriture de chaque jour,
16 et que l'un d'entre vous leur dise: Allez en paix, chauffez-vous et vous rassasiez! et que vous ne leur donniez pas ce qui est nécessaire au corps, à quoi cela sert-il?
17 Il en est ainsi de la foi: si elle n'a pas les oeuvres, elle est morte en elle-même.
18 Mais quelqu'un dira: Toi, tu as la foi; et moi, j'ai les oeuvres. Montre-moi ta foi sans les oeuvres, et moi, je te montrerai la foi par mes oeuvres.
19 Tu crois qu'il y a un seul Dieu, tu fais bien; les démons le croient aussi, et ils tremblent.
20 Veux-tu savoir, ô homme vain, que la foi sans les oeuvres est inutile?
21 Abraham, notre père, ne fut-il pas justifié par les oeuvres, lorsqu'il offrit son fils Isaac sur l'autel?
22 Tu vois que la foi agissait avec ses oeuvres, et que par les oeuvres la foi fut rendue parfaite.
23 Ainsi s'accomplit ce que dit l'Écriture: Abraham crut à Dieu, et cela lui fut imputé à justice; et il fut appelé ami de Dieu.
24 Vous voyez que l'homme est justifié par les oeuvres, et non par la foi seulement.
25 Rahab la prostituée ne fut-elle pas également justifiée par les oeuvres, lorsqu'elle reçut les messagers et qu'elle les fit partir par un autre chemin?
26 Comme le corps sans âme est mort, de même la foi sans les oeuvres est morte.

不可以貌取人
2 我的弟兄姊妹，你们既然信了我们荣耀的主耶稣基督，就不可以貌取人。 2 比方说，一个手戴金饰、衣着华丽的人来参加你们的聚会，一个衣衫褴褛的人也来参加， 3 你们就看重那衣着华丽的，对他说：“请上座。”却对那穷人说：“你站在那边。”或“坐在我的脚凳边。” 4 你们这样做难道不是偏心待人，心怀恶意地判断人吗？
5 我亲爱的弟兄姊妹，请听我说，上帝不是拣选了穷人，使他们在信心上富足，并承受祂应许赐给那些爱祂之人的国度吗？ 6 你们反倒侮辱穷人。其实欺压你们、抓你们上法庭的不是那些富人吗？ 7 不正是他们亵渎你们所敬奉的尊名吗？
8 如果你们能切实行出圣经中“要爱邻如己”这条至尊的律法，就好了。 9 如果你们偏待人，嫌贫爱富，便是犯罪，律法要将你们定罪。 10 人只要触犯律法中的一条，就等于违犯了全部， 11 因为那位说“不可通奸”的，也说过“不可杀人”。如果你没有犯通奸罪，却杀了人，你仍违犯了律法。 12 既然你们要按使人自由的律法受审判，就应该按律法行事为人。 13 因为不怜悯人的会受到无情的审判，但怜悯胜过审判。
信心和行为
14 我的弟兄姊妹，如果有人自称有信心，却没有行为来证实，有什么用呢？这种信心能够救他吗？ 15 如果有弟兄姊妹缺衣少食， 16 你们只是对他们说：“安心走吧，愿你们穿得暖，吃得饱”，却不帮助他解决实际困难，这有什么用呢？ 17 因此，信心若没有行为，就是死的。
18 必有人说：“你有信心，我有行为。”请把你没有行为的信心指给我看，我就借着行为把我的信心显给你看。 19 你相信上帝只有一位，你信得没错，鬼魔也相信，而且恐惧战抖。
20 愚蠢的人啊，你们不知道没有行为的信心是死的吗？ 21 我们的祖先亚伯拉罕把儿子以撒献在祭坛上的时候，难道不是因行为而被称为义人吗？ 22 可见他的信心和行为相称，而且信心要有行为才是完全的。 23 这正应验了圣经的记载：“亚伯拉罕信上帝，就被算为义人”，并且被称为“上帝的朋友”。 24 可见人要被上帝算为义人必须有与信心相称的行为，并非单有信心。 25 还有妓女喇合，她收留使者，把他们藏在家里，又送他们从别的路逃生，不也是因行为而被称为义人吗？
26 身体没有灵魂是死的，同样，信心没有行为也是死的。

不可以貌取人
2 我的弟兄姊妹，你們既然信了我們榮耀的主耶穌基督，就不可以貌取人。 2 比方說，一個手戴金飾、衣著華麗的人來參加你們的聚會，一個衣衫襤褸的人也來參加， 3 你們就看重那衣著華麗的，對他說：「請上座。」卻對那窮人說：「你站在那邊。」或「坐在我的腳凳邊。」 4 你們這樣做難道不是偏心待人，心懷惡意地判斷人嗎？
5 我親愛的弟兄姊妹，請聽我說，上帝不是揀選了窮人，使他們在信心上富足，並承受祂應許賜給那些愛祂之人的國度嗎？ 6 你們反倒侮辱窮人。其實欺壓你們、抓你們上法庭的不是那些富人嗎？ 7 不正是他們褻瀆你們所敬奉的尊名嗎？
8 如果你們能切實行出聖經中「要愛鄰如己」這條至尊的律法，就好了。 9 如果你們偏待人，嫌貧愛富，便是犯罪，律法要將你們定罪。 10 人只要觸犯律法中的一條，就等於違犯了全部， 11 因為那位說「不可通姦」的，也說過「不可殺人」。如果你沒有犯通姦罪，卻殺了人，你仍違犯了律法。 12 既然你們要按使人自由的律法受審判，就應該按律法行事為人。 13 因為不憐憫人的會受到無情的審判，但憐憫勝過審判。
信心和行為
14 我的弟兄姊妹，如果有人自稱有信心，卻沒有行為來證實，有什麼用呢？這種信心能夠救他嗎？ 15 如果有弟兄姊妹缺衣少食， 16 你們只是對他們說：「安心走吧，願你們穿得暖，吃得飽」，卻不幫助他解決實際困難，這有什麼用呢？ 17 因此，信心若沒有行為，就是死的。
18 必有人說：「你有信心，我有行為。」請把你沒有行為的信心指給我看，我就藉著行為把我的信心顯給你看。 19 你相信上帝只有一位，你信得沒錯，鬼魔也相信，而且恐懼戰抖。
20 愚蠢的人啊，你們不知道沒有行為的信心是死的嗎？ 21 我們的祖先亞伯拉罕把兒子以撒獻在祭壇上的時候，難道不是因行為而被稱為義人嗎？ 22 可見他的信心和行為相稱，而且信心要有行為才是完全的。 23 這正應驗了聖經的記載：「亞伯拉罕信上帝，就被算為義人」，並且被稱為「上帝的朋友」。 24 可見人要被上帝算為義人必須有與信心相稱的行為，並非單有信心。 25 還有妓女喇合，她收留使者，把他們藏在家裡，又送他們從別的路逃生，不也是因行為而被稱為義人嗎？
26 身體沒有靈魂是死的，同樣，信心沒有行為也是死的。

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)

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