2

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.

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

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?

Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

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:

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;

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
