| 2:26 | Because, as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. | For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. |
| 2:8 | If you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well; | If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: |

| 2:2 | Because, if there should come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, | 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; |
