Third Millennium Bible w/ Apocrypha TMBA
New International Version NIV
11 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.
11
For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as those who shall be judged by the law of liberty.
12
Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, who hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
13
because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and hath not works? Can faith save him?
14
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?
15 If a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food,
15
Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.
16 and one of you say unto them, "Depart in peace; be ye warmed and filled," without giving them those things which are needful to the body, what doth it profit?
16
If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
17
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18 Yea, a man may say, "Thou hast faith, and I have works." Show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
18
But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well. The devils also believe -- and tremble.
19
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
20
You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless ?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
21
Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
