1Mi britheren, nyle ye haue the feith of oure Lord Jhesu Crist of glorie, in accepcioun of persoones.Select James 2:1

2For if a man `that hath a goldun ring, and in a feire clothing, cometh in youre cumpany, and a pore man entrith in a foul clothing,Select James 2:2

3and if ye biholden in to hym that is clothid with clere clothing, and if ye seie to hym, Sitte thou here wel; but to the pore man ye seien, Stonde thou there, ethir sitte vndur the stool of my feet; whether ye demen not anentis you silf,Select James 2:3

4and ben maad domesmen of wickid thouytis?Select James 2:4

5Heere ye, my moost dereworthe britheren, whethir God chees not pore men in this world, riche in feith, and eiris of the kyngdom, that God bihiyte to men that louen him?Select James 2:5

6But ye han dispisid the pore man. Whether riche men oppressen not you bi power, and thei drawen you to domes?Select James 2:6

7Whether thei blasfemen not the good name, that is clepid to help on you?Select James 2:7

8Netheles if ye performen the kingis lawe, bi scripturis, Thou schalt loue thi neiybour as thi silf, ye don wel.Select James 2:8

10And who euere kepith al the lawe, but offendith in oon, he is maad gilti of alle.Select James 2:10

11For he that seide, Thou schalt do no letcherie, seide also, Thou schalt not sle; that if thou doist not letcherie, but thou sleest, thou art maad trespassour of the lawe.Select James 2:11

12Thus speke ye, and thus do ye, as bigynnynge to be demyd bi the lawe of fredom.Select James 2:12

13For whi dom with out merci is to hym, that doith no mercy; but merci aboue reisith dom.Select James 2:13

14Mi britheren, what schal it profite, if ony man seie that he hath feith, but he hath not the werkis? whether feith schal mowe saue hym?Select James 2:14

15And if a brother ethir sister be nakid, and han nede of ech daies lyuelode,Select James 2:15

16and if ony of you seie to hem, Go ye in pees, be ye maad hoot, and be ye fillid; but if ye yyuen not to hem tho thingis that ben necessarie to bodi, what schal it profite?Select James 2:16

17So also feith, if it hath not werkis, is deed in it silf.Select James 2:17

18But summan schal seie, Thou hast feith, and Y haue werkis; schewe thou to me thi feith with out werkis, and Y schal schewe to thee my feith of werkis.Select James 2:18

19Thou bileuest, that o God is; thou doist wel; and deuelis bileuen, and tremblen.Select James 2:19

20But wolt thou wite, thou veyn man, that feith with out werkis is idul?Select James 2:20

21Whether Abraham, oure fadir, was not iustified of werkis, offringe Ysaac, his sone, on the auter?Select James 2:21

22Therfor thou seest, that feith wrouyte with hise werkis, and his feith was fillid of werkis.Select James 2:22

23And the scripture was fillid, seiynge, Abraham bileuede to God, and it was arettid to hym to riytwisnesse, and he was clepid the freend of God.Select James 2:23

24Ye seen that a man is iustified of werkis, and not of feith oneli.Select James 2:24

25In lijk maner, and whether also Raab, the hoore, was not iustified of werkis, and resseyuede the messangeris, and sente hem out bi anothir weie?Select James 2:25
