All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| James 2:14 | What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but has no works? Can that kind of (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) faith save him? |
| James 2:15 | If a brother or sister lacks adequate clothing and is in need of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) daily food, |
| James 2:16 | and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; stay warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not give them what (ta | τά | acc pl neut) their (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) body needs, what good is that? |
| James 2:17 | In the same way faith, if it has no works, is dead, since it is by itself. |
| James 2:18 | But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) faith by my works. |
| James 2:19 | You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the (ta | τά | nom pl neut) demons believe, and shudder. |
| James 2:20 | Would you like to be shown, you shallow person, that faith without works is useless? |
| James 2:21 | Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered his son Isaac on the (to | τό | acc sg neut) altar? |
| James 2:22 | You see that faith was at work along with his works and that his (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) faith was made complete by his (tōn | τῶν | gen pl neut) works. |
| James 2:23 | And the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) scripture was fulfilled that (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God. |
| James 2:25 | And in the same way was not also Rahab the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) harlot justified by works when she took in the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) spies and sent them out by another way? |
| James 2:26 | For just as the (to | τό | nom sg neut) body without the spirit is dead, so also faith devoid of works is dead. |
| James 3:2 | For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in what he says, he is a mature individual, able to bridle his (to | τό | acc sg neut) whole body as well. |
| James 3:3 | Now if we put bits into the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) mouths of (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) horses to make them obey us, then we guide their entire body. |
| James 3:4 | Or consider ships: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder, wherever the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) impulse of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) pilot directs. |
| James 3:5 | So also is the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) tongue a small member, yet it boasts of great things. See how large a forest is set on fire by such a small flame. |
| James 3:6 | And the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) tongue is a fire! The (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) tongue is a (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) world of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) iniquity among our members; it (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) defiles the (to | τό | acc sg neut) whole body, sets on fire the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) course of our (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) life, and is set on fire by hell. |
| James 3:7 | For every species of beast and bird, reptile and sea creature, can be tamed, and has been tamed by the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) human species. |
| James 3:8 | But the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) tongue, no one is able to tame; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. |
| James 3:9 | With it we bless our (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) Lord and Father, and with it we curse those (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) who (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) are made in the likeness of God. |
| James 3:10 | From the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not happen. |
| James 3:11 | Does a (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) spring pour forth water from the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) same opening that is both fresh and brackish? |
| James 3:13 | Who is wise and understanding among you? By his (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) exemplary conduct let him show his works done in the gentleness born of wisdom. |
| James 3:14 | But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and tell lies against the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) truth. |
| James 3:15 | This is not the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. |
