WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 My friends, as trusting believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, you must not show favoritism.
1 HERMANOS míos, no tengáis la fe de nuestro Señor Jesucristo glorioso en acepción de personas.
1 My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
2 Imagine that a man comes into your synagogue wearing gold rings and fine clothes, and then a poor man comes in dressed in rags.
2 Porque si en vuestra congregación entra un hombre con anillo de oro, y de preciosa ropa, y también entra un pobre con vestidura vil,
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 If you pay special attention to the well-dressed man, and say, “Please sit here in a seat of honor,” while you say to the poor man, “Stand over there, or sit on the floor by my feet,”
3 Y tuviereis respeto al que trae la vestidura preciosa, y le dijereis: Siéntate tú aquí en buen lugar: y dijereis al pobre: Estáte tú allí en pie; ó siéntate aquí debajo de mi estrado:
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 haven't you discriminated and judged with bad motives?
4 ¿No juzgáis en vosotros mismos, y venís á ser jueces de pensamientos malos?
4 haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my dear friends: Didn't God choose those who the world considers poor to be rich in their trust in him, and to inherit the kingdom he promised to those who love him?
5 Hermanos míos amados, oid: ¿No ha elegido Dios los pobres de este mundo, ricos en fe, y herederos del reino que ha prometido á los que le aman?
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've treated the poor shamefully. Isn't it the rich who oppress you and drag you before the courts?
6 Mas vosotros habéis afrentado al pobre. ¿No os oprimen los ricos, y no son ellos los mismos que os arrastran á los juzgados?
6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
7 Don't they insult the honorable name of the one who called you and to whom you belong?
7 ¿No blasfeman ellos el buen nombre que fué invocado sobre vosotros?
7 Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
8 If you really observe the royal law of Scripture: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” then you do well.
8 Si en verdad cumplís vosotros la ley real, conforme á la Escritura: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo, bien hacéis:
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, you're sinning. The law convicts you as guilty of breaking it.
9 Mas si hacéis acepción de personas, cometéis pecado, y sois reconvenidos de la ley como transgresores.
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Someone who observes everything in the law but fails in just one part is guilty of breaking it all.
10 Porque cualquiera que hubiere guardado toda la ley, y ofendiere en un [punto], es hecho culpado de todos.
10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
11 God told you not to commit adultery, and he also told you not to kill. So if you don't commit adultery, but you do kill, you've become a law-breaker.
11 Porque el que dijo: No cometerás adulterio, también ha dicho: No matarás. Ahora bien, si no hubieres cometido adulterio, pero hubieres matado, ya eres hecho transgresor de la ley.
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 You should speak and act as people who will be judged by the law of freedom.
12 Así hablad, y así obrad, como los que habéis de ser juzgados por la ley de libertad.
12 So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
13 Anyone who doesn't show mercy will be judged without mercy. Yet mercy wins out over judgment!
13 Porque juicio sin misericordia [será hecho] con aquel que no hiciere misericordia: y la misericordia se gloría contra el juicio.
13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 My friends, what's the good of someone saying they trust in God when they don't do what's good and right? Can such “trust” save them?
14 Hermanos míos, ¿qué aprovechará si alguno dice que tiene fe, y no tiene obras? ¿Podrá la fe salvarle?
14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister doesn't have clothes, or food for the day,
15 Y si el hermano ó la hermana están desnudos, y tienen necesidad del mantenimiento de cada día,
15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
16 and you say to them, “Blessings on you! Stay warm and have a good meal!” and you don't provide what they need to survive, what's the good of that?
16 Y alguno de vosotros les dice: Id en paz, calentaos y hartaos; pero no les diereis las cosas que son necesarias para el cuerpo: ¿qué aprovechará?
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 By itself even your trust-based faith in God is dead and worthless if you don't actually do what's good and right.
17 Así también la fe, si no tuviere obras, es muerta en sí misma.
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
18 Someone may argue, “You have your trust in God; I have my good deeds.” Well, show me your trust in God without good deeds, and I will show you my trust in God by my good deeds!
18 Pero alguno dirá: Tú tienes fe, y yo tengo obras: muéstrame tu fe sin tus obras, y yo te mostraré mi fe por mis obras.
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 God is one God? That's great—but demons believe in God too, and they're scared of him!
19 Tú crees que Dios es uno; bien haces: también los demonios creen, y tiemblan.
19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
20 You foolish people! Don't you know that trust in God without doing what's right is worthless?
20 ¿Mas quieres saber, hombre vano, que la fe sin obras es muerta?
20 But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
21 Wasn't our father Abraham made right by what he did—by offering his son Isaac on the altar?
21 ¿No fué justificado por las obras Abraham nuestro padre, cuando ofreció á su hijo Isaac sobre el altar?
21 Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
22 You notice that his trust in God worked together with what he did, and through what he did his trust in God was made complete.
22 ¿No ves que la fe obró con sus obras, y que la fe fué perfecta por las obras?
22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.
23 In this way scripture was fulfilled: “Abraham trusted God, and this was considered as him doing right,” and he was called the friend of God.
23 Y fué cumplida la Escritura que dice: Abraham creyó á Dios, y le fué imputado á justicia, y fué llamado amigo de Dios.
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 You see that people are made right by what they do, and not just by trusting God.
24 Vosotros veis, pues, que el hombre es justificado por las obras, y no solamente por la fe.
24 You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
25 In the same way, wasn't Rahab the prostitute made right by what she did when she looked after the messengers and then sent them away by a different road?
25 Asimismo también Rahab la ramera, ¿no fué justificada por obras, cuando recibió los mensajeros, y los echó fuera por otro camino?
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 Just as the body is dead without the spirit, trust in God is dead if you don't do what's right.
26 Porque como el cuerpo sin espíritu está muerto, así también la fe sin obras es muerta.
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, …
