(1.00) | Jam 1:27 | Pure and undefiled religion before 1 God the Father 2 is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world. |
(1.00) | Jam 2:5 | Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! 1 Did not God choose the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him? |
(1.00) | Jam 2:7 | Do they not blaspheme the good name of the one you belong to? 1 |
(1.00) | Jam 2:12 | Speak and act as those who will be judged by a law that gives freedom. 1 |
(1.00) | Jam 2:14 | What good is it, my brothers and sisters, 1 if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith 2 save him? 3 |
(1.00) | Jam 2:17 | So also faith, if it does not have works, is dead being by itself. |
(1.00) | Jam 2:18 | But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” 1 Show me your faith without works and I will show you faith by 2 my works. |
(1.00) | Jam 2:20 | But would you like evidence, 1 you empty fellow, 2 that faith without works is useless? 3 |
(1.00) | Jam 2:21 | Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? |
(1.00) | Jam 2:22 | You see that his faith was working together with his works and his faith was perfected by works. |
(1.00) | Jam 2:24 | You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. |
(1.00) | Jam 2:25 | And similarly, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another way? |
(1.00) | Jam 2:26 | For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. |
(1.00) | Jam 3:1 | Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, 1 because you know that we will be judged more strictly. 2 |
(1.00) | Jam 3:2 | For we all stumble 1 in many ways. If someone does not stumble 2 in what he says, 3 he is a perfect individual, 4 able to control the entire body as well. |
(1.00) | Jam 3:5 | So too the tongue is a small part of the body, 1 yet it has great pretensions. 2 Think 3 how small a flame sets a huge forest ablaze. |
(1.00) | Jam 3:6 | And the tongue is a fire! The tongue represents 1 the world of wrongdoing among the parts of our bodies. It 2 pollutes the entire body and sets fire to the course of human existence – and is set on fire by hell. 3 |
(1.00) | Jam 3:13 | Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct he should show his works done in the gentleness that wisdom brings. 1 |
(1.00) | Jam 3:14 | But if you have bitter jealousy and selfishness in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth. |
(1.00) | Jam 3:16 | For where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is disorder and every evil practice. |
