Chapter 2.

00:02.300 --> 00:06.640
My brethren, have not the faith of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory,

00:06.980 --> 00:08.440
with respect of persons.

00:09.060 --> 00:13.360
For if there come unto your assembly a man
with a gold ring, in goodly apparel,

00:13.800 --> 00:18.360
and there come in also a poor man in vile
raiment, and ye have respect to him that

00:18.360 --> 00:22.140
weareth the gay clothing, and say unto
him, Sit thou here in a good place,

00:22.660 --> 00:27.960
and say to the poor, Stand thou there,
or sit here under my footstool,

00:28.360 --> 00:32.840
are ye not then partial in yourselves,
and are become judges of evil thoughts?

00:33.580 --> 00:37.800
Hearken, my beloved brethren, hath not God
chosen the poor of this world,

00:37.920 --> 00:41.880
rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom
which he hath promised to them that love

00:41.880 --> 00:42.040
him?

00:42.760 --> 00:44.380
But ye have despised the poor.

00:45.380 --> 00:48.940
Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you
before the judgment seats?

00:49.540 --> 00:52.960
Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by
the which ye are called?

00:53.740 --> 00:58.120
If ye fulfill the royal law according to
the scripture, Thou shalt love thy

00:58.120 --> 01:00.640
neighbor as thyself, ye do well.

01:01.420 --> 01:06.700
But if ye have respect to persons,
ye commit sin, and are convinced of the

01:06.700 --> 01:07.820
law as transgressors.

01:08.160 --> 01:12.860
For whosoever shall keep the whole law,
and yet offend in one point, he is guilty

01:12.860 --> 01:13.280
of all.

01:13.980 --> 01:18.180
For he that said, Do not commit adultery,
said also, Do not kill.

01:19.120 --> 01:24.140
Now, if thou commit no adultery,
yet if thou kill, thou art become a

01:24.140 --> 01:25.260
transgressor of the law.

01:26.280 --> 01:31.260
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall
be judged by the law of liberty.

01:32.300 --> 01:37.960
For he shall have judgment without mercy
that hath showed no mercy, and mercy

01:37.960 --> 01:39.320
rejoiceth against judgment.

01:41.000 --> 01:44.180
What doth it profit, my brethren,
though a man say he hath faith,

01:44.520 --> 01:45.440
and have not works?

01:46.080 --> 01:47.280
Can faith save him?

01:48.060 --> 01:52.480
If a brother or sister be naked and
destitute of daily food, and one of you

01:52.480 --> 01:57.660
say unto them, Depart in peace,
be ye warmed and filled, notwithstanding

01:57.660 --> 02:02.520
ye give them not those things which are
needful to the body, what doth it profit?

02:03.460 --> 02:09.020
Even so faith, if it hath not works,
is dead, being alone.

02:09.860 --> 02:13.560
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith,
and I have works.

02:14.400 --> 02:17.940
Show me thy faith without thy works,
and I will show thee my faith by my works.

02:18.580 --> 02:21.880
Thou believest that there is one God,
thou doest well.

02:22.520 --> 02:24.680
The devils also believe and tremble.

02:25.360 --> 02:30.360
But wilt thou know, O vain man,
that faith without works is dead?

02:31.240 --> 02:36.760
Was not Abraham our father justified by
works, when he had offered Isaac his son

02:36.760 --> 02:37.340
upon the altar?

02:38.540 --> 02:43.780
Seest thou how faith wrought with his
works, and by works was faith made

02:43.780 --> 02:44.380
perfect?

02:45.260 --> 02:49.240
And the scripture was fulfilled,
which saith, Abraham believed God,

02:49.300 --> 02:53.180
and it was imputed unto him for
righteousness, and he was called the

02:53.180 --> 02:54.100
friend of God.

02:55.580 --> 03:00.440
Ye see then how that by works a man is
justified, and not by faith only.

03:01.600 --> 03:06.700
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot
justified by works, when she had received

03:06.700 --> 03:08.740
the messengers and had sent them out
another way?

03:09.480 --> 03:15.960
For as the body without the spirit is
dead, so faith without works is dead also.

03:18.920 --> 03:20.800
This ends Disc 14.
