雅2:1 我的弟兄们，你们信奉我们荣耀的主耶稣基督，便不可按着外貌待人。
雅2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
雅2:2 若有一个人戴着金戒指，穿着华美衣服，进你们的会堂去，又有一个穷人，穿着肮脏衣服也进去；
雅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;
雅2:3 你们就重看那穿华美衣服的人，说：“请坐在这好位上”，又对那穷人说：“你站在那里”，或“坐在我脚凳下边”，
雅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:
雅2:4 这岂不是你们偏心待人，用恶意断定人吗？
雅2:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
雅2:5 我亲爱的弟兄们，请听！ 神岂不是拣选了世上的贫穷人，叫他们在信上富足，并承受他所应许给那些爱他之人的国吗？
雅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?
雅2:6 你们反倒羞辱贫穷人！那富足人岂不是欺压你们，拉你们到公堂去吗？
雅2:6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
雅2:7 他们不是亵渎你们所敬奉的尊名吗？（所敬奉或作被称）
雅2:7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
雅2:8 经上记着说：“要爱人如己。”你们若全守这至尊的律法，才是好的；
雅2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
雅2:9 但你们若按外貌待人，便是犯罪，被律法定为犯法的。
雅2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
雅2:10 因为凡遵守全律法的，只在一条上跌倒，他就是犯了众条。
雅2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
雅2:11 原来那说“不可奸淫”的，也说“不可杀人”。你就是不奸淫，却杀人，仍是成了犯律法的。
雅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.
雅2:12 你们既然要按使人自由的律法受审判，就该照这律法说话行事。
雅2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
雅2:13 因为那不怜悯人的，也要受无怜悯的审判，怜悯原是向审判夸胜。
雅2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
雅2:14 我的弟兄们，若有人说自己有信心，却没有行为，有什么益处呢？这信心能救他吗？
雅2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
雅2:15 若是弟兄或是姐妹，赤身露体，又缺了日用的饮食，
雅2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
雅2:16 你们中间有人对他们说，“平平安安地去吧！愿你们穿得暖吃得饱”，却不给他们身体所需用的，这有什么益处呢？
雅2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
雅2:17 这样，信心若没有行为就是死的。
雅2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
雅2:18 必有人说：“你有信心，我有行为；你将你没有行为的信心指给我看，我便借着我的行为，将我的信心指给你看。”
雅2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
雅2:19 你信 神只有一位，你信的不错；鬼魔也信，却是战惊。
雅2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
雅2:20 虚浮的人哪，你愿意知道没有行为的信心是死的吗？
雅2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
雅2:21 我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕把他儿子以撒献在坛上，岂不是因行为称义吗？
雅2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
雅2:22 可见信心是与他的行为并行，而且信心因着行为才得成全。
雅2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
雅2:23 这就应验经上所说：“亚伯拉罕信 神，这就算为他的义。”他又得称为 神的朋友。
雅2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
雅2:24 这样看来，人称义是因着行为，不是单因着信。
雅2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
雅2:25 妓女喇合接待使者，又放他们从别的路上出去，不也是一样因行为称义吗？
雅2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
雅2:26 身体没有灵魂是死的，信心没有行为也是死的。
雅2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
