James 2:1-13

Stop Showing Partiality

My brothers, show no partiality

Ἀδελφοί μου, μὴ ἐν προσωπολημψίαις ἔχετε τὴν πίστιν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῆς δόξης.

as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.

T - but semantically a ground of 2:1a.

For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly,

ἐὰν γὰρ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς συναγωγὴν ὑμῶν ἀνὴρ χρυσοδακτύλιος ἐν ἐσθῆτι λαμπρᾷ, εἰσέλθῃ δὲ καὶ πτωχὸς ἐν ῥυπαρᾷ ἐσθῆτι,

Protasis of 2:4ab

and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in,

and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing

ἐπιβλέψητε δὲ ἐπὶ τὸν φοροῦντα τὴν ἐσθῆτα τὴν λαμπρὰν καὶ εἴπητε• σὺ κάθου ὧδε καλῶς, καὶ τῷ πτωχῷ εἴπητε• σὺ στῆθι ἢ κάθου ἐκεῖ ὑπὸ τὸ ὑποπόδιόν μου,

and say,

“You sit here in a good place,”

Content of 2:3b

while you say to the poor man,

Protasis of 2:4ab

“You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,”

Content of 2:3d

have you not then made distinctions among yourselves

καὶ οὐ διεκρίθητε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ ἐγένεσθε κριταὶ διαλογισμῶν πονηρῶν;

Apodosis of 2:2–3

and become judges with evil thoughts?

Reason #1: The True Place of Rich and Poor

Listen, my beloved brothers,

Ἀκούσατε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί• οὐχ ὁ θεὸς ἐξελέξατο τοὺς πτωχοὺς τῷ κόσμῳ πλουσίους ἐν πίστει καὶ κληρονόμους τῆς βασιλείας ἧς ἐπηγγείλατο τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτόν;

has not God chosen those who are poor in the world

to be rich in faith

Complement of 2:5b

and heirs of the kingdom,

which he has promised to those who love him?

Exp of "kingdom" in 2:5d

But you have dishonored the poor man.

ὑμεῖς δὲ ἠτιμάσατε τὸν πτωχόν. οὐχ οἱ πλούσιοι καταδυναστεύουσιν ὑμῶν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἕλκουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς κριτήρια;

Alternate w/ 2:5b

Are not the rich the ones who oppress you,

Alternate w/ 2:6a

and the ones who drag you into court?

Are they not the ones who blaspheme the honorable name [invoked over you (NET)] by which you were called?

οὐκ αὐτοὶ βλασφημοῦσιν τὸ καλὸν ὄνομα τὸ ἐπικληθὲν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς;

Reason #2: Scripture Prohibits Partiality

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture,

Εἰ μέντοι νόμον τελεῖτε βασιλικὸν κατὰ τὴν γραφήν• ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν, καλῶς ποιεῖτε•

Protasis of 2:8c

“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,”

Content of 2:8a

you are doing well.

Apodosis of 2:8a

But if you show partiality,

εἰ δὲ προσωπολημπτεῖτε, ἁμαρτίαν ἐργάζεσθε ἐλεγχόμενοι ὑπὸ τοῦ νόμου ὡς παραβάται.

Protasis of 2:9b

you are committing sin

Alternate w/ 2:8c, Apodosis w/ 2:9a

and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

For whoever keeps the whole law

ὅστις γὰρ ὅλον τὸν νόμον τηρήσῃ πταίσῃ δὲ ἐν ἑνί, γέγονεν πάντων ἔνοχος.

Semantically a protasis w/ 2:10c

but fails in one point

has become accountable for all of it.

Ground of 2:9bc, Semantically an apodosis w/ 2:10ab

For he who said,

ὁ γὰρ εἰπών• μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, εἶπεν καί• μὴ φονεύσῃς• εἰ δὲ οὐ μοιχεύεις φονεύεις δέ, γέγονας παραβάτης νόμου.

Ground of 2:10c

“Do not commit adultery,”

Content of 2:11a

also said,

Series w/ 2:11a

“Do not murder.”

Content of 2:11d

If you do not commit adultery

Protasis w/ 2:11g

but do murder,

you have become a transgressor of the law.

Inference from 2:11a, apodosis w/ 2:11ef

Concluding Command: Show Mercy in Order to Receive Mercy

So speak

Οὕτως λαλεῖτε καὶ οὕτως ποιεῖτε ὡς διὰ νόμου ἐλευθερίας μέλλοντες κρίνεσθαι.

Inference from 2:11g

and so act

as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.

Comparative w/ 2:12ab

For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy.

ἡ γὰρ κρίσις ἀνέλεος τῷ μὴ ποιήσαντι ἔλεος• κατακαυχᾶται ἔλεος κρίσεως.

Ground of 2:12ab

Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Alternate of 2:13a

Ἀδελφοί μου, μὴ ἐν προσωπολημψίαις ἔχετε τὴν πίστιν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῆς δόξης.

ἐὰν γὰρ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς συναγωγὴν ὑμῶν ἀνὴρ χρυσοδακτύλιος ἐν ἐσθῆτι λαμπρᾷ, εἰσέλθῃ δὲ καὶ πτωχὸς ἐν ῥυπαρᾷ ἐσθῆτι,

ἐπιβλέψητε δὲ ἐπὶ τὸν φοροῦντα τὴν ἐσθῆτα τὴν λαμπρὰν καὶ εἴπητε• σὺ κάθου ὧδε καλῶς, καὶ τῷ πτωχῷ εἴπητε• σὺ στῆθι ἢ κάθου ἐκεῖ ὑπὸ τὸ ὑποπόδιόν μου,

καὶ οὐ διεκρίθητε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ ἐγένεσθε κριταὶ διαλογισμῶν πονηρῶν;

Ἀκούσατε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί• οὐχ ὁ θεὸς ἐξελέξατο τοὺς πτωχοὺς τῷ κόσμῳ πλουσίους ἐν πίστει καὶ κληρονόμους τῆς βασιλείας ἧς ἐπηγγείλατο τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτόν;

ὑμεῖς δὲ ἠτιμάσατε τὸν πτωχόν. οὐχ οἱ πλούσιοι καταδυναστεύουσιν ὑμῶν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἕλκουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς κριτήρια;

οὐκ αὐτοὶ βλασφημοῦσιν τὸ καλὸν ὄνομα τὸ ἐπικληθὲν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς;

Εἰ μέντοι νόμον τελεῖτε βασιλικὸν κατὰ τὴν γραφήν• ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν, καλῶς ποιεῖτε•

εἰ δὲ προσωπολημπτεῖτε, ἁμαρτίαν ἐργάζεσθε ἐλεγχόμενοι ὑπὸ τοῦ νόμου ὡς παραβάται.

ὅστις γὰρ ὅλον τὸν νόμον τηρήσῃ πταίσῃ δὲ ἐν ἑνί, γέγονεν πάντων ἔνοχος.

ὁ γὰρ εἰπών• μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, εἶπεν καί• μὴ φονεύσῃς• εἰ δὲ οὐ μοιχεύεις φονεύεις δέ, γέγονας παραβάτης νόμου.

Οὕτως λαλεῖτε καὶ οὕτως ποιεῖτε ὡς διὰ νόμου ἐλευθερίας μέλλοντες κρίνεσθαι.

ἡ γὰρ κρίσις ἀνέλεος τῷ μὴ ποιήσαντι ἔλεος• κατακαυχᾶται ἔλεος κρίσεως.
