1 GLT يَا إِخْوَتِي، لَا يَكُنْ لَكُمْ إِيمَانُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، رَبِّ ٱلْمَجْدِ، فِي ٱلْمُحَابَاةِ. BSB BSB: My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.
2 GLT فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ دَخَلَ إِلَى مَجْمَعِكُمْ رَجُلٌ بِخَوَاتِمِ ذَهَبٍ فِي لِبَاسٍ بَهِيٍّ، وَدَخَلَ أَيْضًا فَقِيرٌ بِلِبَاسٍ وَسِخٍ، BSB BSB: Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
3 GLT فَنَظَرْتُمْ إِلَى ٱللَّابِسِ ٱللِّبَاسَ ٱلْبَهِيَّ وَقُلْتُمْ لَهُ:«ٱجْلِسْ أَنْتَ هُنَا حَسَنًا». وَقُلْتُمْ لِلْفَقِيرِ:«قِفْ أَنْتَ هُنَاكَ» أَوِ:«ٱجْلِسْ هُنَا تَحْتَ مَوْطِىءِ قَدَمَيَّ». BSB BSB: If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor,” but say to the poor man, “You must stand” or “Sit at my feet,”
4 GLT فَهَلْ لَا تَرْتَابُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَتَصِيرُونَ قُضَاةَ أَفْكَارٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ؟ BSB BSB: have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 GLT ٱسْمَعُوا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ: أَمَا ٱخْتَارَ ٱللهُ فُقَرَاءَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ أَغْنِيَاءَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، وَوَرَثَةَ ٱلْمَلَكُوتِ ٱلَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ؟ BSB BSB: Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?
6 GLT وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَأَهَنْتُمُ ٱلْفَقِيرَ. أَلَيْسَ ٱلْأَغْنِيَاءُ يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهُمْ يَجُرُّونَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَاكِمِ؟ BSB BSB: But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
7 GLT أَمَا هُمْ يُجَدِّفُونَ عَلَى ٱلِٱسْمِ ٱلْحَسَنِ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ؟ BSB BSB: Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?
8 GLT فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُكَمِّلُونَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ ٱلْمُلُوكِيَّ حَسَبَ ٱلْكِتَابِ:«تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ»، فَحَسَنًا تَفْعَلُونَ. BSB BSB: If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
9 GLT وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحَابُونَ، تَفْعَلُونَ خَطِيَّةً، مُوَبَّخِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ كَمُتَعَدِّينَ. BSB BSB: But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 GLT لِأَنَّ مَنْ حَفِظَ كُلَّ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، وَإِنَّمَا عَثَرَ فِي وَاحِدَةٍ، فَقَدْ صَارَ مُجْرِمًا فِي ٱلْكُلِّ. BSB BSB: Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
11 GLT لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ:«لَا تَزْنِ»، قَالَ أَيْضًا:«لَا تَقْتُلْ». فَإِنْ لَمْ تَزْنِ وَلَكِنْ قَتَلْتَ، فَقَدْ صِرْتَ مُتَعَدِّيًا ٱلنَّامُوسَ. BSB BSB: 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.
12 GLT هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمُوا وَهَكَذَا ٱفْعَلُوا كَعَتِيدِينَ أَنْ تُحَاكَمُوا بِنَامُوسِ ٱلْحُرِّيَّةِ. BSB BSB: Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.
13 GLT لِأَنَّ ٱلْحُكْمَ هُوَ بِلَا رَحْمَةٍ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ رَحْمَةً، وَٱلرَّحْمَةُ تَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى ٱلْحُكْمِ. BSB BSB: For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
15 GLT إِنْ كَانَ أَخٌ وَأُخْتٌ عُرْيَانَيْنِ وَمُعْتَازَيْنِ لِلْقُوتِ ٱلْيَوْمِيِّ، BSB BSB: Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
16 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُمَا أَحَدُكُمُ:«ٱمْضِيَا بِسَلَامٍ، ٱسْتَدْفِئَا وَٱشْبَعَا»، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تُعْطُوهُمَا حَاجَاتِ ٱلْجَسَدِ، فَمَا ٱلْمَنْفَعَةُ؟ BSB BSB: If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?
17 GLT هَكَذَا ٱلْإِيمَانُ أَيْضًا، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَعْمَالٌ، مَيِّتٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ. BSB BSB: So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.
18 GLT لَكِنْ يَقُولُ قَائِلٌ:«أَنْتَ لَكَ إِيمَانٌ، وَأَنَا لِي أَعْمَالٌ. أَرِنِي إِيمَانَكَ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالِكَ، وَأَنَا أُرِيكَ بِأَعْمَالِي إِيمَانِي». BSB BSB: But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
20 GLT وَلَكِنْ هَلْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْبَاطِلُ أَنَّ ٱلْإِيمَانَ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتٌ؟ BSB BSB: O foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is worthless?
21 GLT أَلَمْ يَتَبَرَّرْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبُونَا بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، إِذْ قَدَّمَ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ؟ BSB BSB: Was not our father Abraham justified by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
22 GLT فَتَرَى أَنَّ ٱلْإِيمَانَ عَمِلَ مَعَ أَعْمَالِهِ، وَبِٱلْأَعْمَالِ أُكْمِلَ ٱلْإِيمَانُ، BSB BSB: You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did.
23 GLT وَتَمَّ ٱلْكِتَابُ ٱلْقَائِلُ:«فَآمَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِٱللهِ فَحُسِبَ لَهُ بِرًّا»، وَدُعِيَ خَلِيلَ ٱللهِ. BSB BSB: And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
25 GLT كَذَلِكَ رَاحَابُ ٱلزَّانِيَةُ أَيْضًا، أَمَا تَبَرَّرَتْ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، إِذْ قَبِلَتِ ٱلرُّسُلَ وَأَخْرَجَتْهُمْ فِي طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ؟ BSB BSB: In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?
26 GLT لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْجَسَدَ بِدُونَ رُوحٍ مَيِّتٌ، هَكَذَا ٱلْإِيمَانُ أَيْضًا بِدُونِ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتٌ. BSB BSB: As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
