1 My brothers, within the glorious faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, do not choose to show favoritism toward persons.
1 My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
2 For if a man has entered your assembly having a gold ring and splendid apparel, and if a poor man has also entered, in dirty clothing,
2 For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in,
3 and if you are then attentive to the one who is clothed in excellent apparel, so that you say to him, “You may sit in this good place,” but you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit below my footstool,”
3 and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”
4 are you not judging within yourselves, and have you not become judges with unjust thoughts?
4 haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 My most beloved brothers, listen. Has not God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that God has promised to those who love him?
5 Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
6 But you have dishonored the poor. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you through power? And are not they the ones who drag you to judgment?
6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
7 Are not they the ones who blaspheme the good name which has been invoked over you?
7 Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
8 So if you perfect the regal law, according to the Scriptures, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” then you do well.
8 However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
9 But if you show favoritism to persons, then you commit a sin, having been convicted again by the law as transgressors.
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Now whoever has observed the whole law, yet who offends in one matter, has become guilty of all.
10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
11 For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not kill.” So if you do not commit adultery, but you kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.
11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak and act just as you are beginning to be judged, by the law of liberty.
12 So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
13 For judgment is without mercy toward him who has not shown mercy. But mercy exalts itself above judgment.
13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 My brothers, what benefit is there if someone claims to have faith, but he does not have works? How would faith be able to save him?
14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
15 So if a brother or sister is naked and daily in need of food,
15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
16 and if anyone of you were to say to them: “Go in peace, keep warm and nourished,” and yet not give them the things that are necessary for the body, of what benefit is this?
16 and one of you tells them, “Go in peace. Be warmed and filled;” yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17 Thus even faith, if it does not have works, is dead, in and of itself.
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
18 Now someone may say: “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works! But I will show you my faith by means of works.
18 Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. But the demons also believe, and they tremble greatly.
19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
20 So then, are you willing to understand, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?
20 But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
21 Was not our father Abraham justified by means of works, by offering his son Isaac upon the altar?
21 Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
22 Do you see that faith was cooperating with his works, and that by means of works faith was brought to fulfillment?
22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.
23 And so the Scripture was fulfilled which says: “Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.” And so he was called the friend of God.
23 So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.
24 Do you see that a man is justified by means of works, and not by faith alone?
24 You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
25 Similarly also, Rahab, the harlot, was she not justified by works, by receiving the messengers and sending them out through another way?
25 In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
… by these things, but that they were given as a sign to the people, this fact shows,-- that Abraham himself, without circumcision and without observance of Sabbaths, "believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God." Then, again, Lot, without circumcision, was brought out from Sodom, receiving salvation from God.
Forgive her, O Lord, forgive her, I beseech Thee; "enter not into judgment" with her. Let Thy mercy be exalted above Thy justice, because Thy words are true, and Thou hast promised mercy unto "the merciful;" which Thou gavest them to be who wilt "have mercy" on whom Thou wilt "have mercy," and wilt "have compassion" on whom Thou hast …

He was justified not only by works, but also by faith: for though he did many things well, yet he was never called the friend of God, except when he believed.

For faith apart from works is dead, and so likewise are works apart from faith.

… the whole city of God in its pilgrim state, for it cries to God by the mouth of all its members, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." And this prayer is efficacious not for those whose faith is "without works and dead," but for those whose faith "worketh by love." For as reason, though subjected to God, …
