The letter of James, chapter 2
"our righteousnesses" is
Filthy rags
( before salvation )
Good Works
( after slavation )
Isa.64 [
6] But we are all as an unclean
thing, and all "our righteousnesses" are as
filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our
iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
----------
Eph.2
[8] For
by grace are ye saved through faith
; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
----------
James 2 [
1] My brethren, have not the faith
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect
of persons.
Lev.19[
15] Ye shall do no unrighteousness
in judgment: thou shalt not
respect the person of the poor, nor
honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy
neighbour.
Deut.1[
17] Ye
shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall
hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of
man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring
it unto me, and I will hear it.
Deut.16[
19] Thou shalt not wrest judgment;
thou shalt not respect persons
, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise,
and pervert the words of the righteous.
2Chr.19[
7] Wherefore now let the fear
of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with
the LORD our God, nor respect of persons
, nor taking of gifts.
Prov.24[
23] These things also belong
to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons
in judgment.
Prov.28[
21] To
have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece
of bread that man will transgress.
back to Jas.2
[2] 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;
Are you partial in the LAW?
Mal.2[
9] Therefore have I also made
you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept
my ways, but have been partial
in the law .
1Tim.5[
21] I charge thee before God,
and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things
without preferring one before another, doing nothing
by partiality.
Jas.2[
4] Are ye not then
partial in yourselves , and are become
judges of evil thoughts?
Jas.3[
17] But the wisdom that is from
above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full
of mercy and good fruits, without partiality
, and without hypocrisy.
Prov.30
[ 32] If thou hast done foolishly
in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil,
lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
back to Jas.2
[5] 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?
Lev.24[
16] And he that
blasphemeth
the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death,
and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as
he that is born in the land, when he
blasphemeth the name
of the LORD, shall be put to death.
back to Jas.2
[8] If ye fulfil "the royal law" ( torah ) according
to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
Lev.19[
18] Thou shalt not avenge, nor
bear any grudge against the children of thy people,
but
thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself
: I am the LORD.
back to Jas.2
[9] But if
ye have
respect to persons, ye commit sin
, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
1John.3
[4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for
sin is the transgression of the law.
2Pet.3[
14] Wherefore, beloved, seeing
that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace,
without spot, and blameless
.
John.5[
14] ...
sin no more, lest a
worse thing come unto thee.
John.8
[11]... go, and
sin no more.
back to Jas.2
[10] For whosoever
shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Exod. 20, Deut.5 - the 10 commandments
Exod.20
[1] And God
spake all these words, saying,
back to Jas.2
[12] So speak
ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law
of liberty.
Deut.6[
4] Hear, O Israel: The LORD
our God is one LORD:
back to Jas.2
[21] Was not
Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon
the altar? Gen.22
[22] Seest thou
how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Gen.15
[6] And
he believed in the LORD; and he counted it
to him for righteousness.
back to Jas.2
[24] Ye see
then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
[26
] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so
faith without works
is dead also.
-------------
We will give Account and be Judged
1Pet.4[
17] For the time is come that
judgment must begin at the
house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall
the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?[
18] And if the righteous
scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the
sinner appear?
John.5[
22] For the Father judgeth no
man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
John.12[
48] He that rejecteth me, and
receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: "the
word" that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day
2Cor.5[
10] For
we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah / Christ
; that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Rom.14[
10] But why dost thou judge
thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for
we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Messiah / Christ.
Rom.2[
2] But
we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth
against them which commit such things. [
3] And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them
which do such things, and doest the same, that thou
shalt escape the judgment of God?
Rom.1[
32] Who
knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit
such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in
them that do them.
Rom.2[
5] But after thy hardness and
impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath
and revelation of the righteous judgment of God
;
Heb.9[27]
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment:
Matt.12[
36] But I say unto you, That
every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give
account thereof in the day of judgment.
Rom.14[
11] For it is written, As I
live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess
to God.[12] So then every one
of us shall give account of
himself to God.
Heb.13[
17] Obey them that have the
rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as
they that must give account,
that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable
for you.
Ecclesiastes
12
[12] And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making
many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.[13]
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments:
for this is the whole duty of man.[14] For
God shall bring every work into judgment, with
every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Judged according to their works
from the book ( the Word )
book of life
( better be in it )
Exod.32[
32] Yet now, if thou wilt forgive
their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of
thy book which thou hast written.
[33] And the LORD
said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him
will I blot out of my book
.
Dan.7[
10] A fiery stream issued and
came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten
thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the
books were opened
.
Rev.20 [
12] And I saw the dead, small
and great, stand before God; and the books were opened:
and another book was opened, which is the book of life
: and the dead were judged
out of those things which were written in
the books
, according to their works
. [13
] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death
and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and
they were judged every man according to their
works.
Phil.4[
3] And I intreat thee also,
true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with
Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the
book of life.
Rev.3[
5] He that overcometh, the same
shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of
the book of life, but I will
confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Rev.13[
8] And all that dwell upon the
earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the
book of life of the Lamb slain from
the foundation of the world.
Rev.17[
8] The beast that thou sawest
was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition:
and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written
in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and
yet is.
Rev.20[
12] And I saw the dead, small
and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was
opened, which is the book of life
: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written
in the books, according to their works.
[15] And whosoever
was not found written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire.
Rev.21[
27] And there shall in no wise
enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination,
or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's
book of life.
Rev.22[
19] And if any man shall take
away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part
out of the book of life, and
out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
this book
, this law
Deut.28[
58] If thou wilt not observe
to do all the words of this law that are written in
this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and
fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
Deut.30[
8] And thou shalt return and
obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee
this day.
[15] See, I
have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
Deut.31[
24] And it came to pass, when
Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a
book, until they were finished,[
25] That Moses commanded the
Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, [
26] Take this
book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark
of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against
thee.
Josh.1[
8] This
book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to
do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way
prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Josh.8[
31] As Moses the servant of
the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the
book of the law of Moses, an altar
of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered
thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
[34] And afterward
he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to
all that is written in the book
of the law.
Josh.23[
6] Be ye therefore very courageous
to keep and to do all that is written in the book of
the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom
to the right hand or to the left;
Mal.4 [4
] Remember ye the law of Moses
my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for
all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
Matt.5[
17]
Think not that
I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets
: I am not come to destroy, but
to fulfil. [18
] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot
or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law
, till all be fulfilled.

[3] 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] Are ye not then
partial in yourselves,
and are become judges of evil thoughts?
[6] But ye have despised the
poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
[7] Do
not they blaspheme
that worthy name by the which ye are called?
[11] 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.
[2] I am the LORD thy God, which
have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[3] Thou shalt have no other
gods before me.
[4] Thou shalt not make unto
thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
[5] Thou shalt not bow down
thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation
of them that hate me;
[6] And shewing mercy unto thousands
of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
[7] Thou shalt not take the
name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless
that taketh his name in vain.
[8] Remember the sabbath day,
to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour,
and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day is
the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor
thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days the LORD
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh
day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
[12] Honour thy father and thy
mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth
thee.
[13] Thou shalt not kill.
[14] Thou shalt not commit adultery.
[15] Thou shalt not steal.
[16] Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbour.
[17] Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant,
nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
[13] For he shall have judgment
without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
[14] What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man
say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
[15]
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
[16] 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] Even so faith, if it hath not works,
is dead, being alone.
[18]
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]
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest
well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
[20]
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that
faith without works is dead
?
[23] 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.
[25] Likewise also was not Rahab the
harlot justified by works, when she had received the
messengers, and had sent them out another way?
Joshua 6
[9] And the LORD thy God will
make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body,
and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for
the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
[10] If thou shalt hearken unto
the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments
and his statutes which are written in this book of the law
, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart,
and with all thy soul.
[11] For this commandment which I command thee this
day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
[12]
It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven,
and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
[13] Neither is it beyond the
sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it
unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
[14] But the word is very nigh
unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
[16] In that I command thee
this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments
and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and
the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess
it.
[17] But if thine heart turn
away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other
gods, and serve them;
[18] I denounce unto you this
day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon
the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
[19] I call heaven and earth
to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death,
blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may
live:
[20] That thou mayest love the
LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave
unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest
dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob, to give them.
