Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with respect of persons.
1αδελφοι μου μη εν προσωποληψιαισ εχετε την πιστιν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου τησ δοξησ
2For if there shall come into your assembly a man having a golden ring, in fine apparel, and there shall come in also a poor man in mean attire,
2εαν γαρ εισελθη εισ την συναγωγην υμων ανηρ χρυσοδακτυλιοσ εν εσθητι λαμπρα εισελθη δε και πτωχοσ εν ρυπαρα εσθητι
3And you have respect to him that is clothed with the fine apparel, and shall say to him: Sit thou here well; but say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool:
3και επιβλεψητε επι τον φορουντα την εσθητα την λαμπραν και ειπητε αυτω συ καθου ωδε καλωσ και τω πτωχω ειπητε συ στηθι εκει η καθου ωδε υπο το υποποδιον μου
4Do you not judge within yourselves, and are become judges of unjust thoughts?
4και ου διεκριθητε εν εαυτοισ και εγενεσθε κριται διαλογισμων πονηρων
5Hearken, my dearest brethren: hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him?
5ακουσατε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι ουχ ο θεοσ εξελεξατο τουσ πτωχουσ του κοσμου πλουσιουσ εν πιστει και κληρονομουσ τησ βασιλειασ ησ επηγγειλατο τοισ αγαπωσιν αυτον
6But you have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you by might? and do not they draw you before the judgment seats?
6υμεισ δε ητιμασατε τον πτωχον ουχ οι πλουσιοι καταδυναστευουσιν υμων και αυτοι ελκουσιν υμασ εισ κριτηρια
7Do not they blaspheme the good name that is invoked upon you?
7ουκ αυτοι βλασφημουσιν το καλον ονομα το επικληθεν εφ υμασ
8If then you fulfill the royal law, according to the scriptures, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; you do well.
8ει μεντοι νομον τελειτε βασιλικον κατα την γραφην αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον καλωσ ποιειτε
9But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, being reproved by the law as transgressors.
9ει δε προσωποληπτειτε αμαρτιαν εργαζεσθε ελεγχομενοι υπο του νομου ωσ παραβαται
10And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all.
10οστισ γαρ ολον τον νομον τηρησει πταισει δε εν ενι γεγονεν παντων ενοχοσ
11For he that said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
11ο γαρ ειπων μη μοιχευσεισ ειπεν και μη φονευσεισ ει δε ου μοιχευσεισ φονευσεισ δε γεγονασ παραβατησ νομου
12So speak ye, and so do, as being to be judged by the law of liberty.
12ουτωσ λαλειτε και ουτωσ ποιειτε ωσ δια νομου ελευθεριασ μελλοντεσ κρινεσθαι
13For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment.
13η γαρ κρισισ ανελεοσ τω μη ποιησαντι ελεοσ κατακαυχαται ελεον κρισεωσ
14What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?
14τι το οφελοσ αδελφοι μου εαν πιστιν λεγη τισ εχειν εργα δε μη εχη μη δυναται η πιστισ σωσαι αυτον
15And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food:
15εαν δε αδελφοσ η αδελφη γυμνοι υπαρχωσιν και λειπομενοι ωσιν τησ εφημερου τροφησ
16And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?
16ειπη δε τισ αυτοισ εξ υμων υπαγετε εν ειρηνη θερμαινεσθε και χορταζεσθε μη δωτε δε αυτοισ τα επιτηδεια του σωματοσ τι το οφελοσ
17So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
17ουτωσ και η πιστισ εαν μη εργα εχη νεκρα εστιν καθ εαυτην
18But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith.
18αλλ ερει τισ συ πιστιν εχεισ καγω εργα εχω δειξον μοι την πιστιν σου εκ των εργων σου καγω δειξω σοι εκ των εργων μου την πιστιν μου
19Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble.
19συ πιστευεισ οτι ο θεοσ εισ εστιν καλωσ ποιεισ και τα δαιμονια πιστευουσιν και φρισσουσιν
20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
20θελεισ δε γνωναι ω ανθρωπε κενε οτι η πιστισ χωρισ των εργων νεκρα εστιν
21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar?
21αβρααμ ο πατηρ ημων ουκ εξ εργων εδικαιωθη ανενεγκασ ισαακ τον υιον αυτου επι το θυσιαστηριον
22Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect?
22βλεπεισ οτι η πιστισ συνηργει τοισ εργοισ αυτου και εκ των εργων η πιστισ ετελειωθη
23And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God.
23και επληρωθη η γραφη η λεγουσα επιστευσεν δε αβρααμ τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εισ δικαιοσυνην και φιλοσ θεου εκληθη
24Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?
24ορατε 3708 V-PAI-2P τοινυν οτι εξ εργων δικαιουται ανθρωποσ και ουκ εκ πιστεωσ μονον
25And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers, and sending them out another way?
25ομοιωσ δε και ρααβ η πορνη ουκ εξ εργων εδικαιωθη υποδεξαμενη τουσ αγγελουσ και ετερα οδω εκβαλουσα
26For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead.
26ωσπερ γαρ το σωμα χωρισ πνευματοσ νεκρον εστιν ουτωσ και η πιστισ χωρισ των εργων νεκρα εστιν
