James 2 Holy Bible (KJV)

James 2:1: My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

James 2:2: 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;

James 2:3: 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:

James 2:4: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

James 2:5: 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?

James 2:6: But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

James 2:7: Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

James 2:8: If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

James 2:9: But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

James 2:10: For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

James 2:11: 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.

James 2:12: So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

James 2:13: For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
