OET-LV YAC Chapter 2

Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

2 Brothers of _me, not with favouritism be _holding the faith of _the master of _us, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah, of_ the _glory.
2 For/Because if may _come _in into the_synagogue of _you _all, a_man gold _ring, in clothing splendid, and may _come _in also a_poor man, in filthy clothing, 3 and you _all _may _look _at on the one wearing the clothing the splendid, and you _all _may _say:
You be _sitting here good, and to _the poor you _all _may _say:
You stand there, or:
Be _sitting under the footstool of _me, 4 not you _all _were _distinguished among yourselves, and became judges with _speculations evil?
5 Hear, brothers of _me beloved:
not the god chose the poor in _the world, rich in faith to _be, and heirs of _the kingdom which he _promised to _the ones loving him?
6 But you _all dishonoured the poor.
Not the rich are _oppressing over _you _all, and they are _dragging you _all into courts?
7 Not they are _slandering the good name which having _been _called on you _all?
8 If however the_law you _all _are _accomplishing royal, according _to the scripture:
You _will _be _loving the neighbor of _you as yourself, well you _all _are _doing.
9 But if you _all _are _showing _favouritism, sin you _all _are _doing, being _rebuked by the law as transgressors.
10 For/Because whoever all the law may _keep, but may _stumble in one thing, has _become of _all liable.
11 For/Because the one having _said:
Not you _may _commit _adultery, said also:
Not you _may _murder.
And if not you _are _committing _adultery, but you _are _murdering you _have _become a_transgressor of_the_law.
12 Thus be _speaking, and thus be _doing, as by the_law of _freedom going to _be _being _judged.
13 For/Because the judgment merciless will _be to _the one not having _doing mercy.
Is _triumphing mercy over _judgment.
14 What is profit, brothers of _me, if faith may _be _saying anyone, to _be _having but, works not may _be _having?
Not is _able the faith to _save him?
15 If a_brother or a_sister naked may _be _being, and lacking of_ the _daily food, 16 and may _say anyone to _them from you _all:
Be _going in peace, be _warming and be _satisfying, not but you _all _may _give to _them the necessary things for _their body, what is profit?
17 Thus also the faith, if not it _may _be _having works, dead it _is by itself.
18 But will _be _saying someone:
You faith are _having, and _I works am _having.
Show to _me the faith of _you without the works, and _I to _you will _be _showing by the works of _me the faith.
19 You are _believing that one is the god.
Well you _are _doing, even the demons are _believing and are _shuddering.
20 But you _are _wanting to _know, Oh person vain, that the faith apart _from the works idle is?
21 Abraʼam/(ʼAⱱrāhām) the father of _us not by works was _justified, having _offered _up Isaʼak/(Yiʦḩāq) the son of _him on the altar?
22 You _are _seeing that his faith was _working _together with _the works of _him, and by his works his faith was _perfected.
23 And was _fulfilled the scripture which saying:
And believed Abraʼam in _- god, and it _was _counted to _him for righteousness, and a_friend of_god he _was _called.
24 You _all _are _seeing that by works is _being _justified a_person, and not by faith only.
25 And likewise also Ɽaⱪab/(Rāḩāⱱ) the prostitute not by works was _justified, having _welcomed the messengers and by _another way having _sent _forth?
26 For/Because as the body apart _from spirit dead is, thus also the faith apart _from works dead is.
