¹⁴ What tis · ho good ophelos is it, my egō brothers adelphos, if ean someone tis claims legō to have echō faith pistis but de has echō no mē works ergon? Can dynamai that kind of ho faith pistis save sōzō him autos? ¹⁵ If ean a brother adelphos or ē sister adelphē lacks hyparchō adequate clothing gymnos and kai is in need leipō of ho daily ephēmeros food trophē, ¹⁶ and de one tis of ek you hymeis says legō to them autos, “ Go hypagō in en peace eirēnē; stay warm thermainō and kai eat your fill chortazō,” and yet de you do not mē give didōmi them autos what ho their ho body sōma needs epitēdeios, what tis · ho good ophelos is that? ¹⁷ In the same way houtōs · kai · ho faith pistis, if ean it has echō no mē works ergon, is eimi dead nekros, since it is by kata itself heautou. ¹⁸ But alla someone tis will say legō, “ You sy have echō faith pistis and I kagō have echō works ergon.” Show deiknymi me egō · ho your sy faith pistis without chōris · ho works ergon, and I kagō will show deiknymi you sy my ho faith pistis by ek · ho my egō works ergon. ¹⁹ You sy believe pisteuō that hoti God theos is eimi one heis; · ho you do poieō well kalōs. Even kai the ho demons daimonion believe pisteuō, and kai shudder phrissō.

²⁰ Would you like thelō · de to be shown ginōskō, you ō shallow kenos person anthrōpos, that hoti · ho faith pistis without chōris · ho works ergon is eimi useless argos? ²¹ Was dikaioō not ou Abraham Abraam · ho our hēmeis father patēr justified dikaioō by ek works ergon when he offered anapherō his autos son hyios Isaac Isaak · ho on epi the ho altar thusiastērion? ²² You see blepō that hoti · ho faith pistis was at work along with synergeō · ho his autos works ergon and kai that his ho faith pistis was made complete teleioō by ek his ho works ergon. ²³ And kai the ho scripture graphē was fulfilled plēroō that ho says legō, “ And de Abraham Abraam believed pisteuō · ho God theos, and kai it was credited logizomai to him autos as eis righteousness dikaiosynē,” and kai he was called kaleō the friend philos of God theos. ²⁴ You see horaō that hoti a person anthrōpos is justified dikaioō by ek works ergon and kai not ou by ek faith pistis alone monon. ²⁵ And de in the same way homoiōs was dikaioō not ou also kai Rahab Rhaab the ho harlot pornē justified dikaioō by ek works ergon when she took in hypodechomai the ho spies angelos and kai sent ekballō them out ekballō by another heteros way hodos? ²⁶ For gar just as hōsper the ho body sōma without chōris the spirit pneuma is eimi dead nekros, so houtōs also kai · ho faith pistis devoid chōris of works ergon is eimi dead nekros.

¹⁹ A certain tis man anthrōpos · de was eimi rich plousios, and kai he was dressed endidyskō in purple porphyra and kai fine byssos linen and he made merry euphrainō every kata day hēmera in a luxurious lamprōs manner . ²⁰ And de a tis poor ptōchos man by the name onoma of Lazarus Lazaros, who was covered with sores helkoō, was laid ballō at pros the ho gate pylōn, ²¹ · kai who longed epithumeō to eat chortazō what ho fell piptō from apo the ho rich man’ s plousios table trapeza. · ho But alla instead kai, the ho dogs kyōn used to come erchomai and lick epileichō · ho his autos sores helkos. ²² · de The ho poor man ptōchos died apothnēskō and kai he autos was carried apopherō by hypo the ho angels angelos to eis · ho Abraham’ s Abraam side kolpos. The ho rich man plousios also kai died apothnēskō · de and kai was buried thaptō, ²³ And kai being hyparchō in en torment basanos in en · ho Hades hadēs, he lifted epairō · ho his autos eyes ophthalmos and saw horaō Abraham Abraam from apo afar makrothen and kai Lazarus Lazaros at en · ho his autos side kolpos. ²⁴ And kai calling out phōneō he autos said legō, ‘ Father patēr Abraham Abraam, have mercy eleeō on me egō, and kai send pempō Lazarus Lazaros to hina dip baptō the ho tip akron of ho his autos finger daktylos in water hydōr and kai cool katapsychō · ho my egō tongue glōssa, for hoti I am in anguish odynaō in en · ho this houtos flame phlox.’ ²⁵ But de Abraham Abraam said legō, ‘ Child teknon, remember mimnēskomai that hoti you received apolambanō · ho your sy good agathos things during en · ho your sy lifetime zōē, and kai Lazarus Lazaros correspondingly homoiōs received · ho bad kakos things ; but de now nyn he is comforted parakaleō here hōde, and de you sy are in anguish odynaō. ²⁶ · kai Besides en all pas this houtos, between metaxy us hēmeis and kai you hymeis a great megas chasm chasma has been put stērizō in place , so hopōs that those ho wishing thelō to cross diabainō over from enthen here to pros you hymeis are not mē able dynamai, and no mēde one can cross diaperaō from ekeithen there to pros us hēmeis.’ ²⁷ So de the rich man said legō, ‘ Then oun I beg erōtaō you sy, father patēr, to hina send pempō Lazarus autos to eis the ho house oikos of ho my egō father patēr ²⁸ ( for gar I have echō five pente brothers adelphos), that hopōs he might warn diamartyromai them autos so hina that they autos might erchomai not mē come erchomai as kai well into eis · ho this houtos place topos of ho torment basanos.’ ²⁹ But de Abraham Abraam said legō, ‘ They have echō Moses Mōysēs and kai the ho Prophets prophētēs; let them listen akouō to them autos.’ ³⁰ Then de the ho rich man said legō, ‘ No ouchi, father patēr Abraham Abraam; but alla if ean someone tis from apo the dead nekros goes poreuō to pros them autos, they will repent metanoeō.’ ³¹ He said legō · de to him autos, ‘ If ei they do akouō not ou listen to akouō Moses Mōysēs and kai the ho Prophets prophētēs, neither oude will they be persuaded peithō should ean someone tis rise anistēmi from ek the dead nekros.’”
