The Scriptures 1998

James 2:7-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. Do they not blaspheme that good Name by which you are called?

8. If you truly accomplish the sovereign law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself,” you do well,

9. but if you show partiality, you commit sin, being found guilty by the Torah as transgressors.

10. For whoever shall guard all the Torah, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

11. For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of Torah.

12. So speak and so do as those who are to be judged by a Torah of freedom.

13. For the judgment is without compassion to the one who has shown no compassion. And compassion boasts over judgment.

14. My brothers, what use is it for anyone to say he has belief but does not have works? This belief is unable to save him.

15. And if a brother or sister is naked and in need of daily food,

16. but one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” but you do not give them the bodily needs, what use is it?
