James 2

We should not prefer the rich to the poor, nor show any partiality inconsistent with the Gospel of Christ, James 2:1-4 . God has chosen the poor, rich in faith, to be heirs of his kingdom, even those whom some among their brethren despised and oppressed, James 2:5 , James 2:6 . They should love their neighbor as themselves, and have no respect of persons, James 2:7-9 . He who breaks one command of God is guilty of the whole, James 2:10 , James 2:11 . They should act as those who shall be judged by the law of liberty; and he shall have judgment without mercy, who shows no mercy, James 2:12 , James 2:13 . Faith without works of charity and mercy is dead; nor can it exist where there are no good works, James 2:14-20 . Abraham proved his faith by his works, James 2:21-24 . And so did Rahab, James 2:25 . As the body without the soul is dead, so is faith without good works, James 2:26 .
