My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.
For if there should come into your assembly a man
with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there
should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes,
and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine
clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good
place," and say to the poor man, "You stand
there," or, "Sit here at my footstool, Have you
not shown partiality among yourselves, and become
judges with evil thoughts? James ch. 2 vs. 1-4
We are all like an unclean thing, And all our
righteousnesses are like filthy rags Isaiah ch.
64 v. 6
"Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies
Your footstool"? Hebrews ch. 1 v. 13
God the Judge of all Hebrews ch. 12 v. 23

Listen, my beloved brethren Has God not chosen
the poor of this world to be rich in faith and
heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those
who love Him? But you have dishonoured the poor
man. James ch. 2 vs. 56
He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him
and that He might send them out to preach, and to

demons Simon ... Peter ... James...and John the
brother of James, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus,
Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananite and Judas Iscariot,
who also betrayed Him. Mark ch. 3 vs. 14 - 19
(Pilate) granted the body to Joseph ... he laid
Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the
rock, Mark ch. 15 vs. 45 46
Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of
the air have nests, but the Son of Man has
nowhere to lay His head. Matthew ch. 8 v. 20

Concerning spiritual gifts, ... I do not want you
to be ignorant ... There are diversities of
gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences
of ministries, but the same Lord ... there are
diversities of activities, but it is the same God
who works all in all. from 1 Corinthians ch.12
vs. 1- 6

Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your
masters ... as to Christ ...not ... eyeservice,
as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ,
doing the will of God from the heart,
Ephesians ch. 6 vs. 56

If you really fulfil the royal law according to
the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbour as
yourself," you do well James ch. 2 v. 8
If you show partiality, you commit sin, James
ch.2 v. 9
Whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble
in one point, he is guilty of all. James ch. 2 v.
10
So speak and so do as those who will be judged by
the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy
to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs
over judgment. James ch. 2 vs. 12 13

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says
he has faith but does not have works? Can faith
save him? James ch.2 v. 14
If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of
daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart
in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not
give them the things which are needed for the
body, what does it profit? James ch. 2 vs. 15 - 16

Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have
works, is dead. But someone will say, "You have
faith, and I have works." Show me your faith
without your works, and I will show you my faith
by my works. You believe that there is one God.
You do well. Even the demons believe--and
tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man,
that faith without works is dead? James ch.2 vs.
17 - 20

Was not Abraham our father justified by
works when he offered Isaac his son on the
altar? Do you see that faith was working
together with his works, and by works faith
was made perfect? And the Scripture was
fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God,
and it was accounted to him for
righteousness." And he was called the friend
of God. You see then that a man is justified
by works, and not by faith only. Likewise,
was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works
when she received the messengers and sent them
out another way? For as the body without the
spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead
also. James ch. 2 vs. 21 - 26
