절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Warning against Having Favorites My friends, if you have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, you won't treat some people better than others.	My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
2	Suppose a rich person wearing fancy clothes and a gold ring comes to one of your meetings. And suppose a poor person dressed in worn-out clothes also comes.	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;
3	You must not give the best seat to the one in fancy clothes and tell the one who is poor to stand at the side or sit on the floor.	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:
4	This is the same as saying that some people are better than others, and you would be acting like a crooked judge.	Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
5	My dear friends, pay attention. God has given a lot of faith to the poor people in this world. God has also promised them a share in his kingdom that he will give to everyone who loves him.	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?
6	You mistreat the poor. But isn't it the rich who boss you around and drag you off to court?	But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
7	Aren't they the ones who make fun of your Lord?	Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
8	You will do all right, if you obey the most important law in the Scriptures. It is the law that commands us to love others as much as we love ourselves.	If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9	But if you treat some people better than others, you have done wrong, and the Scriptures teach that you have sinned.	But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10	If you obey every law except one, you are still guilty of breaking them all.	For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11	The same God who told us to be faithful in marriage also told us not to murder. So even if you are faithful in marriage, but murder someone, you still have broken God's Law.	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.
12	Speak and act like people who will be judged by the law that sets us free.	So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13	Do this, because on the day of judgment there will be no pity for those who have not had pity on others. But even in judgment, God is merciful!	For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
14	Faith and Works My friends, what good is it to say you have faith, when you don't do anything to show you really do have faith? Can this kind of faith save you?	What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15	If you know someone who doesn't have any clothes or food,	If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16	you shouldn't just say, “I hope all goes well for you. I hope you will be warm and have plenty to eat.” What good is it to say this, unless you do something to help?	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?
17	Faith that doesn't lead us to do good deeds is all alone and dead!	Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18	Suppose someone disagrees and says, “It is possible to have faith without doing kind deeds.” I would answer, “Prove that you have faith without doing kind deeds, and I will prove that I have faith by doing them.”	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.
19	You surely believe there is only one God. That's fine. Even demons believe this, and it makes them shake with fear.	Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20	Does some stupid person want proof that faith without deeds is useless?	But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21	Well, our ancestor Abraham pleased God by putting his son Isaac on the altar to sacrifice him.	Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22	Now you see how Abraham's faith and deeds worked together. He proved his faith was real by what he did.	Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23	This is what the Scriptures mean by saying, “Abraham had faith in God, and God accepted him.” That's how Abraham became God's friend.	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.
24	You can now see that we please God by what we do and not only by what we believe.	Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25	For example, Rahab had been a prostitute. But she pleased God when she welcomed the spies and sent them home by another way.	Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26	Anyone who doesn't breathe is dead, and faith that doesn't do anything is just as dead!	For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
