Berean Standard Bible
1αδελφοι μου μη εν προσωποληψιαισ εχετε την πιστιν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου τησ δοξησ
1My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.
2εαν γαρ εισελθη εισ την συναγωγην υμων ανηρ χρυσοδακτυλιοσ εν εσθητι λαμπρα εισελθη δε και πτωχοσ εν ρυπαρα εσθητι
2Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
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
3If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor,” but say to the poor man, “You must stand” or “Sit at my feet,”
4και ου διεκριθητε εν εαυτοισ και εγενεσθε κριται διαλογισμων πονηρων
4have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
5ακουσατε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι ουχ ο θεοσ εξελεξατο τουσ πτωχουσ του κοσμου πλουσιουσ εν πιστει και κληρονομουσ τησ βασιλειασ ησ επηγγειλατο τοισ αγαπωσιν αυτον
5Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?
6υμεισ δε ητιμασατε τον πτωχον ουχ οι πλουσιοι καταδυναστευουσιν υμων και αυτοι ελκουσιν υμασ εισ κριτηρια
6But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
7ουκ αυτοι βλασφημουσιν το καλον ονομα το επικληθεν εφ υμασ
7Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?
8ει μεντοι νομον τελειτε βασιλικον κατα την γραφην αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον καλωσ ποιειτε
8If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
9ει δε προσωποληπτειτε αμαρτιαν εργαζεσθε ελεγχομενοι υπο του νομου ωσ παραβαται
9But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10οστισ γαρ ολον τον νομον τηρησει πταισει δε εν ενι γεγονεν παντων ενοχοσ
10Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
11ο γαρ ειπων μη μοιχευσεισ ειπεν και μη φονευσεισ ει δε ου μοιχευσεισ φονευσεισ δε γεγονασ παραβατησ νομου
11For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12ουτωσ λαλειτε και ουτωσ ποιειτε ωσ δια νομου ελευθεριασ μελλοντεσ κρινεσθαι
12Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.
13η γαρ κρισισ ανελεοσ τω μη ποιησαντι ελεοσ κατακαυχαται ελεον κρισεωσ
13For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14τι το οφελοσ αδελφοι μου εαν πιστιν λεγη τισ εχειν εργα δε μη εχη μη δυναται η πιστισ σωσαι αυτον
14What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
15εαν δε αδελφοσ η αδελφη γυμνοι υπαρχωσιν και λειπομενοι ωσιν τησ εφημερου τροφησ
15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
16ειπη δε τισ αυτοισ εξ υμων υπαγετε εν ειρηνη θερμαινεσθε και χορταζεσθε μη δωτε δε αυτοισ τα επιτηδεια του σωματοσ τι το οφελοσ
16If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?
17ουτωσ και η πιστισ εαν μη εργα εχη νεκρα εστιν καθ εαυτην
17So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.
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
18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
19συ πιστευεισ οτι ο θεοσ εισ εστιν καλωσ ποιεισ και τα δαιμονια πιστευουσιν και φρισσουσιν
19You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20θελεισ δε γνωναι ω ανθρωπε κενε οτι η πιστισ χωρισ των εργων νεκρα εστιν
20O foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is worthless?
21αβρααμ ο πατηρ ημων ουκ εξ εργων εδικαιωθη ανενεγκασ ισαακ τον υιον αυτου επι το θυσιαστηριον
21Was not our father Abraham justified by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
22βλεπεισ οτι η πιστισ συνηργει τοισ εργοισ αυτου και εκ των εργων η πιστισ ετελειωθη
22You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did.
23και επληρωθη η γραφη η λεγουσα επιστευσεν δε αβρααμ τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εισ δικαιοσυνην και φιλοσ θεου εκληθη
23And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
24ορατε 3708 V-PAI-2P τοινυν οτι εξ εργων δικαιουται ανθρωποσ και ουκ εκ πιστεωσ μονον
24As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
25ομοιωσ δε και ρααβ η πορνη ουκ εξ εργων εδικαιωθη υποδεξαμενη τουσ αγγελουσ και ετερα οδω εκβαλουσα
25In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?
26ωσπερ γαρ το σωμα χωρισ πνευματοσ νεκρον εστιν ουτωσ και η πιστισ χωρισ των εργων νεκρα εστιν
26As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
