雅2:1（UCV）【不要重富輕貧】我的弟兄們，你們信奉我們榮耀的主耶穌基督，便不可按著外貌待人。

雅2:1（NCV）【不可重富輕貧】我的弟兄們，你們既然對我們榮耀的主耶穌基督有信心，就不應該憑外貌待人。

雅2:1（CLV）我的弟兄姊妹，你們既然相信了我們榮耀的主耶穌基督，就不可按外貌取人了。

James 2:1（KJV）My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

James 2:1（NIV）【Favoritism Forbidden】My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism.

雅2:2（UCV）若有一個人帶著金戒指，穿著華美衣服，進你們的會堂去，又有一個窮人，穿著骯髒衣服也進去；

雅2:2（NCV）如果有一個手戴金戒指、身穿華麗衣服的人，進入你們的會堂；又有一個衣衫襤褸的窮人，也進去了。

雅2:2（CLV）比方說，有一個衣衫襤褸的人和一個手戴金飾、衣著華麗的人，同時進入你們的會堂，

James 2:2（KJV）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;

James 2:2（NIV）Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.

雅2:3（UCV）你們就重看那穿華美衣服的人，說：『請坐在這好位上』，又對那窮人說：『你站在那裏』，或『坐在我腳凳下邊』，

雅2:3（NCV）你們就重看那穿華美衣服的人，說：「請坐在這好位上。」又對那個窮人說：「你站在那裏。」或說：「坐在我的腳凳下邊。」

雅2:3（CLV）你們就殷勤招待那衣飾華麗的，對他說：「請上座，請上座！」卻對那窮人說：「你站在那邊！」或者說：「坐在我腳凳下邊！」

James 2:3（KJV）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:

James 2:3（NIV）If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, "Here's a good seat for you," but say to the poor man, "You stand there" or "Sit on the floor by my feet,"

雅2:4（UCV）這豈不是你們偏心待人，用惡意斷定人嗎？

雅2:4（NCV）這不是你們對人有歧視，成了心懷惡意的審判官嗎？

雅2:4（CLV）你們這樣做，難道不是偏心待人、惡意判定人嗎？

James 2:4（KJV）Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

James 2:4（NIV）have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

雅2:5（UCV）我親愛的弟兄們，請聽！　神豈不是揀選了世上的貧窮人，叫他們在信上富足，並承受他所應許給那些愛他之人的國嗎？

雅2:5（NCV）我親愛的弟兄們，請聽：　神不是揀選了在世上被認為貧窮的人嗎？這些人卻在信心上富足，而且是承受　神的國的人。這國是　神應許賜給愛他的人的。

雅2:5（CLV）親愛的弟兄姊妹啊！請聽我說：上帝不是揀選了窮人，使他們在信心上富有，又讓他們承受祂答應賜給愛祂的人的王國嗎？

James 2:5（KJV）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?

James 2:5（NIV）Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?

雅2:6（UCV）你們反倒羞辱貧窮人！那富足人豈不是欺壓你們，拉你們到公堂去嗎？

雅2:6（NCV）然而你們卻侮辱窮人。其實，那些欺壓你們，拉你們上法庭的，不就是富足的人嗎？

雅2:6（CLV）你們反倒侮辱貧窮人。其實欺壓你們，抓你們上法庭的，不是那些有錢人嗎？

James 2:6（KJV）But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

James 2:6（NIV）But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?

雅2:7（UCV）他們不是褻瀆你們所敬奉〔『所敬奉』或作『被稱』〕的尊名嗎？

雅2:7（NCV）難道不是他們褻瀆那召你們的尊名嗎？〔或譯：『難道不是他們毀謗你們蒙召的美名嗎？』〕

雅2:7（CLV）而且，毀謗你們所敬奉的尊名的，不也就是這種人嗎？

James 2:7（KJV）Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

James 2:7（NIV）Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong?

雅2:8（UCV）【當遵守全律法】經上記著說：『要愛人如己』。你們若全守這至尊的律法，才是好的；

雅2:8（NCV）你們若照著聖經所說『要愛人如己』這話，去完成這至尊的律法，你們就作對了。

雅2:8（CLV）如果你們能切實行出聖經中「要愛人如己」這條至尊的律法就好極了。

James 2:8（KJV）If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

James 2:8（NIV）If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right.

雅2:9（UCV）但你們若按外貌待人，便是犯罪，被律法定為犯法的。

雅2:9（NCV）如果你們憑外貌待人，就是犯罪，律法就要裁定你們是犯法的。

雅2:9（CLV）如果你們這樣先敬羅衣後敬人，輕貧重富，便是犯罪了，律法要將你們定罪。

James 2:9（KJV）But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

James 2:9（NIV）But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.

雅2:10（UCV）因為凡遵守全律法的，只在一條上跌倒，他就是犯了眾條。

雅2:10（NCV）因為凡是遵守全部律法的，只要在一條上失足，就違犯所有的了。

雅2:10（CLV）人只要觸犯律法中的一條，就等於違犯了全部；

James 2:10（KJV）For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

James 2:10（NIV）For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

雅2:11（UCV）原來那說『不可姦淫』的，也說『不可殺人』。你就是不姦淫，卻殺人，仍是成了犯律法的。

雅2:11（NCV）就像那說『不可姦淫』的，也說『不可殺人』；你就是不姦淫，卻殺人，還是犯法的。

雅2:11（CLV）因為那位說「不可姦淫」的，也說過「不可殺人」。假如你沒有犯姦淫，卻殺了人，你仍是犯了律法。

James 2:11（KJV）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.

James 2:11（NIV）For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

雅2:12（UCV）你們既然要按使人自由的律法受審判，就該照這律法說話行事。

雅2:12（NCV）你們既然要按使人自由的律法受審判，就該照著這律法說話行事。

雅2:12（CLV）你們既要按那使人自由的律法受審判，無論講話做事，都應該不違背這律法。

James 2:12（KJV） So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

James 2:12（NIV）Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,

雅2:13（UCV）因為那不憐憫人的，也要受無憐憫的審判，憐憫原是向審判誇勝。

雅2:13（NCV）因為那不行憐憫人的，審判他們的時候就沒有憐憫；憐憫勝過審判。

雅2:13（CLV）要知道不同情人的，必要受無情的審判；但憐憫人的，就對審判無所畏懼。

James 2:13（KJV）For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

James 2:13（NIV）because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!

雅2:14（UCV）【信無善行的信心是死的】我的弟兄們，若有人說自己有信心，卻沒有行為，有甚麼益處呢？這信心能救他嗎？

雅2:14（NCV）【信心沒有行為是死的】我的弟兄們，人若說他有信心，卻沒有行為，有甚麼益處呢？這信心能救他嗎﹖

雅2:14（CLV）我的弟兄姊妹，如果有人自稱有信心，卻沒有行為來證實，這種信心有甚麼用呢？能夠救人嗎？

James 2:14（KJV）What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

James 2:14（NIV）【Faith and Deeds】What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

雅2:15（UCV）若是弟兄或是姊妹，赤身露體，又缺了日用的飲食，

雅2:15（NCV）如果有弟兄或姊妹缺衣少食，

雅2:15（CLV）如果有弟兄或姊妹衣不蔽體，食不果腹，

James 2:15（KJV）If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

James 2:15（NIV）Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.

雅2:16（UCV）你們中間有人對他們說，『平平安安的去吧！願你們穿得暖吃得飽』，卻不給他們身體所需用的，這有甚麼益處呢？

雅2:16（NCV）而你們中間有人對他們說：「平平安安地去吧！願你們穿得暖，吃得飽。」卻不給他們身體所需用的，這有甚麼益處呢﹖

雅2:16（CLV）你只是對他說：「安心走吧，好好保重自己，多吃一點，多穿一點。」卻不幫助他解決現實的困難，這有甚麼用呢？

James 2:16（KJV）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?

James 2:16（NIV）If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?

雅2:17（UCV）這樣，信心若沒有行為就是死的。

雅2:17（NCV）照樣，如果只有信心，沒有行為，這信心就是死的。

雅2:17（CLV）所以，信心若是沒有行動來證實，就是死的。

James 2:17（KJV）Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

James 2:17（NIV）In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

雅2:18（UCV）必有人說：『你有信心，我有行為；你將你沒有行為的信心指給我看，我便藉著我的行為，將我的信心指給你看。』

雅2:18（NCV）也許有人要說，你有信心，我有行為；請把你沒有行為的信心指給我看，我就藉著我的行為，把我的信心指給你看。

雅2:18（CLV）有人會說：「你說你有信心，而我有實際的行動，我就可以藉著我的行動把我的信心顯示給你看；請把你沒有行動的信心指給我看。」

James 2:18（KJV）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.

James 2:18（NIV）But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.

雅2:19（UCV）你信　神只有一位，你信的不錯；鬼魔也信，卻是戰驚。

雅2:19（NCV）你信　神只有一位，你信的不錯；就連鬼魔也信，卻是戰兢。

雅2:19（CLV）你相信上帝只有一位嗎？對。但鬼魔也相信啊，而且因此戰兢恐懼呢！

James 2:19（KJV）Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

James 2:19（NIV）You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder.

雅2:20（UCV）虛浮的人哪！你願意知道沒有行為的信心是死的嗎？

雅2:20（NCV）虛浮的人哪，你願意知道沒有行為的信心是沒有用的嗎？

雅2:20（CLV）虛有其表的人啊，你們不知道沒有實際行動的信心是死的嗎？

James 2:20（KJV）But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

James 2:20（NIV）You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?

雅2:21（UCV）【亞伯拉罕稱義是因行為不是單因信】我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕把他兒子以撒獻在壇上，豈不是因行為稱義嗎？

雅2:21（NCV）我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕，把他的兒子以撒獻在祭壇上，不是因行為稱義嗎﹖

雅2:21（CLV）我們的祖先亞伯拉罕把兒子以撒獻在祭壇上的時候，難道不是因著這行動被定為義嗎？

James 2:21（KJV）Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

James 2:21（NIV）Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?

雅2:22（UCV）可見信心是與他的行為並行，而且信心因著行為才得成全。

雅2:22（NCV）你看，他的信心與行為是一致的，信心就因著行為得到完全了；

雅2:22（CLV）因此，可見他的信心是配合行動的，而且信心要有行動才能證明出來。

James 2:22（KJV）Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

James 2:22（NIV）You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.

雅2:23（UCV）這就應驗經上所說：『亞伯拉罕信　神，這就算為他的義。』他又得稱為　神的朋友。

雅2:23（NCV）這正應驗了經上所說的：『亞伯拉罕信　神，這就算為他的義。』他又得稱為　神的朋友。

雅2:23（CLV）舊約聖經記著說：「亞伯拉罕信靠上帝，上帝就算他為義了。」這句話便得實現，甚至他被稱為「上帝的朋友」，

James 2:23（KJV）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.

James 2:23（NIV）And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.

雅2:24（UCV）這樣看來，人稱義是因著行為，不是單因著信。

雅2:24（NCV）可見人稱義是因著行為，不僅是因著信心。

雅2:24（CLV）可見人要有行動配合信心才能被上帝算為義，並非單有信心就夠了。

James 2:24（KJV）Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

James 2:24（NIV）You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.

雅2:25（UCV）妓女喇合接待使者，又放他們從別的路上出去，不也是一樣因行為稱義嗎？

雅2:25（NCV）照樣，妓女喇合接待了探子，又從另一條路把他們送走，不也是因行為稱義嗎？

雅2:25（CLV）還有那個妓女喇合，她接待那些使者進屋裡去，又送他們從別的路逃生，這不也是透過行動而被稱為義人嗎？

James 2:25（KJV） Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

James 2:25（NIV）In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?

雅2:26（UCV）身體沒有靈魂是死的，信心沒有行為也是死的。

雅2:26（NCV）身體沒有靈魂是死的，照樣，信心沒有行為也是死的。

雅2:26（CLV）身體沒有靈魂就是死的；同樣，信心沒有行為也是死的。

James 2:26（KJV）For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

James 2:26（NIV）As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
