雅各書 第 2 章，希臘文原文誦讀，附中英對照字幕與逐節跳轉。我的弟兄們，你們信奉我們榮耀的主耶穌基督，便不可按着外貌待人。
2:1 Ἀδελφοί μου, μὴ ἐν προσωπολημψίαις ἔχετε τὴν πίστιν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῆς δόξης.我的弟兄們，你們信奉我們榮耀的主耶穌基督，便不可按着外貌待人。My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
2:2 ἐὰν γὰρ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς συναγωγὴν ὑμῶν ἀνὴρ χρυσοδακτύλιος ἐν ἐσθῆτι λαμπρᾷ, εἰσέλθῃ δὲ καὶ πτωχὸς ἐν ῥυπαρᾷ ἐσθῆτι,若有一個人帶着金戒指，穿着華美衣服，進你們的會堂去；又有一個窮人穿着骯髒衣服也進去；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,
2:3 καὶ ἐπιβλέψητε ἐπὶ τὸν φοροῦντα τὴν ἐσθῆτα τὴν λαμπρὰν καὶ εἴπητε, σὺ κάθου ὧδε καλῶς, καὶ τῷ πτωχῷ εἴπητε, σὺ στῆθι ἐκεῖ ἢ κάθου ὑπὸ τὸ ὑποπόδιόν μου,你們就重看那穿華美衣服的人，說：「請坐在這好位上」；又對那窮人說：「你站在那裏」，或「坐在我腳凳下邊。」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”
2:4 οὐ διεκρίθητε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ ἐγένεσθε κριταὶ διαλογισμῶν πονηρῶν;這豈不是你們偏心待人，用惡意斷定人嗎？haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
2:5 Ἀκούσατε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί. οὐχ ὁ θεὸς ἐξελέξατο τοὺς πτωχοὺς τῷ κόσμῳ πλουσίους ἐν πίστει καὶ κληρονόμους τῆς βασιλείας ἧς ἐπηγγείλατο τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτόν;我親愛的弟兄們，請聽，上帝豈不是揀選了世上的貧窮人，叫他們在信上富足，並承受他所應許給那些愛他之人的國嗎？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?
2:6 ὑμεῖς δὲ ἠτιμάσατε τὸν πτωχόν. οὐχ οἱ πλούσιοι καταδυναστεύουσιν ὑμᾶς, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἕλκουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς κριτήρια;你們反倒羞辱貧窮人。那富足人豈不是欺壓你們、拉你們到公堂去嗎？But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
2:7 οὐκ αὐτοὶ βλασφημοῦσιν τὸ καλὸν ὄνομα τὸ ἐπικληθὲν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς;他們不是褻瀆你們所敬奉 的尊名嗎？Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
2:8 εἰ μέντοι νόμον τελεῖτε βασιλικὸν κατὰ τὴν γραφήν, ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν, καλῶς ποιεῖτε·經上記着說：「要愛人如己。」你們若全守這至尊的律法才是好的。However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
2:9 εἰ δὲ προσωπολημπτεῖτε, ἁμαρτίαν ἐργάζεσθε, ἐλεγχόμενοι ὑπὸ τοῦ νόμου ὡς παραβάται.但你們若按外貌待人，便是犯罪，被律法定為犯法的。But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
2:10 ὅστις γὰρ ὅλον τὸν νόμον τηρήσῃ, πταίσῃ δὲ ἐν ἑνί, γέγονεν πάντων ἔνοχος.因為凡遵守全律法的，只在一條上跌倒，他就是犯了眾條。For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
2:11 ὁ γὰρ εἰπών, μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, εἶπεν καί, μὴ φονεύσῃς· εἰ δὲ οὐ μοιχεύεις, φονεύεις δέ, γέγονας παραβάτης νόμου.原來那說「不可姦淫」的，也說「不可殺人」；你就是不姦淫，卻殺人，仍是成了犯律法的。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.
2:12 οὗτως λαλεῖτε καὶ οὕτως ποιεῖτε ὡς διὰ νόμου ἐλευθερίας μέλλοντες κρίνεσθαι.你們既然要按使人自由的律法受審判，就該照這律法說話行事。So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
2:13 ἡ γὰρ κρίσις ἀνέλεος τῷ μὴ ποιήσαντι ἔλεος· κατακαυχᾶται ἔλεος κρίσεως.因為那不憐憫人的，也要受無憐憫的審判；憐憫原是向審判誇勝。For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
2:14 Τί τὸ ὄφελος, ἀδελφοί μου, ἐὰν πίστιν λέγῃ τις ἔχειν, ἔργα δὲ μὴ ἔχῃ; μὴ δύναται ἡ πίστις σῶσαι αὐτόν;我的弟兄們，若有人說自己有信心，卻沒有行為，有甚麼益處呢？這信心能救他嗎？What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
2:15 ἐὰν ἀδελφὸς ἢ ἀδελφὴ γυμνοὶ ὑπάρχωσιν καὶ λειπόμενοι τῆς ἐφημέρου τροφῆς,若是弟兄或是姊妹，赤身露體，又缺了日用的飲食；And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
2:16 εἴπῃ δέ τις αὐτοῖς ἐξ ὑμῶν, ὑπάγετε ἐν εἰρήνῃ, θερμαίνεσθε καὶ χορτάζεσθε, μὴ δῶτε δὲ αὐτοῖς τὰ ἐπιτήδεια τοῦ σώματος, τί τὸ ὄφελος;你們中間有人對他們說：「平平安安地去吧！願你們穿得暖，吃得飽」，卻不給他們身體所需用的，這有甚麼益處呢？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?
2:17 οὕτως καὶ ἡ πίστις, ἐὰν μὴ ἔχῃ ἔργα, νεκρά ἐστιν καθ’ ἑαυτήν.這樣，信心若沒有行為就是死的。Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
2:18 ἀλλ’ ἐρεῖ τις, σὺ πίστιν ἔχεις κἀγὼ ἔργα ἔχω. δεῖξόν μοι τὴν πίστιν σου χωρὶς τῶν ἔργων, κἀγώ σοι δείξω ἐκ τῶν ἔργων μου τὴν πίστιν.必有人說：「你有信心，我有行為；你將你沒有行為的信心指給我看，我便藉着我的行為，將我的信心指給你看。」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.
2:19 σὺ πιστεύεις ὅτι εἷς ἐστιν ὁ θεός; καλῶς ποιεῖς· καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια πιστεύουσιν καὶ φρίσσουσιν.你信上帝只有一位，你信的不錯；鬼魔也信，卻是戰驚。You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
2:20 θέλεις δὲ γνῶναι, ὦ ἄνθρωπε κενέ, ὅτι ἡ πίστις χωρὶς τῶν ἔργων ἀργή ἐστιν;虛浮的人哪，你願意知道沒有行為的信心是死的嗎？But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
2:21 Ἀβραὰμ ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων ἐδικαιώθη, ἀνενέγκας Ἰσαὰκ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον;我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕把他兒子以撒獻在壇上，豈不是因行為稱義嗎？Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
2:22 βλέπεις ὅτι ἡ πίστις συνήργει τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἔργων ἡ πίστις ἐτελειώθη,可見，信心是與他的行為並行，而且信心因着行為才得成全。You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.
2:23 καὶ ἐπληρώθη ἡ γραφὴ ἡ λέγουσα· ἐπίστευσεν δὲ Ἀβραὰμ τῷ θεῷ, καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην, καὶ φίλος θεοῦ ἐκλήθη.這就應驗經上所說：「亞伯拉罕信上帝，這就算為他的義。」他又得稱為上帝的朋友。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.
2:24 ὁρᾶτε ὅτι ἐξ ἔργων δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος καὶ οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως μόνον.這樣看來，人稱義是因着行為，不是單因着信。You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
2:25 ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ Ῥαὰβ ἡ πόρνη οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων ἐδικαιώθη, ὑποδεξαμένη τοὺς ἀγγέλους καὶ ἑτέρᾳ ὁδῷ ἐκβαλοῦσα;妓女喇合接待使者，又放他們從別的路上出去，不也是一樣因行為稱義嗎？In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
2:26 ὥσπερ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα χωρὶς πνεύματος νεκρόν ἐστιν, οὕτως καὶ ἡ πίστις χωρὶς ἔργων νεκρά ἐστιν.身體沒有靈魂是死的，信心沒有行為也是死的。For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
