Compare: James 2

KJV

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.

KJV

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;

KJV

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:

KJV

Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

KJV

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?

KJV

But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

KJV

Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

KJV

If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

KJV

But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

KJV

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.

KJV

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.

KJV

So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

KJV

For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

KJV

What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

KJV

If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

KJV

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?

KJV

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

KJV

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.

KJV

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

KJV

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

KJV

Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

KJV

Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

KJV

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.

KJV

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

KJV

Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way?

KJV

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
