My brothers, do not hold the faith of the glory of our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach with respect of persons.

For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring or with fine clothes, and a poor man comes in with filthy clothes;

and you look on the one who is wearing fine clothes and say to him, You sit here in a good place, and to the poor man you say, You stand over there, or sit here before the footstool of my feet;

have you not divided among yourselves and become judges of evil thoughts?

Hear, my beloved brothers: has not Elohim chosen the poor of the world, rich in faith, to be heirs of the kingdom that Elohim has promised to those who love him?

But you have despised the poor man. Do not the rich exalt themselves over you and drag you to the house of judgment?

Do they not blaspheme the good name that is called upon you?

And if in this you fulfill the law of Elohim, as it is written, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well.

But if you show favoritism, you commit sin, and you are convicted by the law as transgressors of the law.

For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet fails in one precept, is guilty of the whole law.

For he who said, You shall not commit adultery, also said, You shall not kill. If then you do not commit adultery, but you kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.

So speak and so act as people who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

For judgment without mercy is on him who has not done mercy. You are raised by mercy above judgment.

What is the use, my brothers, if a man says, I have faith, and he has no works? Can his faith give him life?

And if a brother or sister are naked and lacking the food of the day,

and one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and be filled, and you do not give them what the body needs, what is the use?

So also faith without works is dead by itself.

For a man says to you, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith from my works.

You believe that Elohim is one; you do well; the demons also believe and tremble.

Do you want to know, O weak man, that faith without works is dead?

Was not our father Avraham justified by works when he offered Yitz'chak his son on the altar?

You see that his faith aided his works, and by the works his faith was made complete.

And the writing was fulfilled that says, Avraham believed in Elohim, and it was counted to him as righteousness, and he was called the friend of Elohim.

You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

So also Rahab the harlot, was she not justified by works when she received the spies and sent them out by another way?

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