| There were [[no kings]] in [[Israel]] under [[Moses]] because everyman was king in his own home. Jesus was to return everyman to his [[family]] and to his [[possessions]] when he set the [[captive]] free from the [[bondage]] of the [[Baptism]] of [[Herod]] and the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]].

|  To do anything other than to ''[[love]] our neighbor as ourselves'' is not keeping the law of God and a violation of the [[royal law]]. This would include [[bite|biting one another]], [[covetous practices]]<Ref name="covetnot">{{covetnot}}</Ref> which is [[idolatry]],<Ref name="Isidolatry">{{Isidolatry}}</Ref> or not providing a [[daily ministration]] of [[Pure Religion]] through [[faith]], [[hope]], and [[charity]] which is the [[works]]<Ref name="doworks">{{doworks}}</Ref> James speaks of in the [[James 1|first chapter]].

== [[James 2]] ==

 
=== Warning against Partiality ===


[1] My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

[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;

[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?

[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?

[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?
 
=== royal law ===


[8] If ye fulfil the [[royal law]] according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself<Ref name="Benevolenceq">{{Benevolenceq}}</Ref><Ref name="givelife'">{{givelife}}</Ref>, ye do well:

[9] But if ye have respect to persons<Ref name="respectq">{{respectq}}</Ref><Ref>[[Leviticus 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.
: [[Deuteronomy 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.
: Deuteronomy 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.
: 2 Samuel 14:14  For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
: 2 Chronicles 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.
: Proverbs 24:23  These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
: Proverbs 28:21  To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
: Lamentations 4:16  The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.
: Acts 10:34  Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
: Romans 2:11  For there is no respect of persons with God.
: Ephesians 6:9  And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
: Colossians 3:25  But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
: James 2:1  My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
: James 2:9  But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
: 1 Peter 1:17  And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:</Ref>, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
[10] For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

[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.

[12] So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the [[perfect law of liberty|law of liberty]].

[13] For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

== Faith and Works ==

[14] What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath [[faith]], and have not [[works]]<Ref name="doworks">{{doworks}}</Ref>? can faith save him?

[15] If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of [[daily bread|aily food]]<Ref name="feast">{{feast}}</Ref>,

[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]]<Ref name="doworks">{{doworks}}</Ref>, is dead<Ref name="deadworks">{{deadworks}}</Ref>, 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]].<Ref name="doworks">{{doworks}}</Ref>

[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]]<Ref name="doworks">{{doworks}}</Ref><Ref name="Lovegn">{{Lovegn}}</Ref> is dead?

[21] Was not [[Abraham]] our [[father]] justified by [[works]], when he had offered Isaac his son upon the [[altar]]?

[22] Seest thou how [[faith]] wrought with his [[works]], and by [[works]] was [[faith]] made perfect?

[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.

[24] Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by [[faith]] only.

[25] Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

[26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without [[works]]<Ref name="doworks">{{doworks}}</Ref> is dead also.
