The Letter of Saint James 2: 1-9

2:1برادران من, within the glorious faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, do not choose to show favoritism toward persons.
2:2For if a man has entered your assembly having a gold ring and splendid apparel, and if a poor man has also entered, in dirty clothing,
2:3and if you are then attentive to the one who is clothed in excellent apparel, so that you say to him, “You may sit in this good place,” but you say to the poor man, “You stand over there," یا, “Sit below my footstool,”
2:4are you not judging within yourselves, and have you not become judges with unjust thoughts?
2:5My most beloved brothers, گوش بده. Has not God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that God has promised to those who love him?
2:6But you have dishonored the poor. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you through power? And are not they the ones who drag you to judgment?
2:7Are not they the ones who blaspheme the good name which has been invoked over you?
2:8So if you perfect the regal law, طبق کتاب مقدس, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” then you do well.
2:9But if you show favoritism to persons, then you commit a sin, having been convicted again by the law as transgressors.
2:10Now whoever has observed the whole law, yet who offends in one matter, has become guilty of all.
2:11For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not kill.” So if you do not commit adultery, but you kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.
2:12So speak and act just as you are beginning to be judged, by the law of liberty.
2:13For judgment is without mercy toward him who has not shown mercy. But mercy exalts itself above judgment.
2:14برادران من, اگر کسی ادعای ایمان داشته باشد چه فایده ای دارد, اما او آثاری ندارد? چگونه ایمان می تواند او را نجات دهد?
2:15پس اگر برادر یا خواهری برهنه و روزانه محتاج غذا باشد,
2:16و اگر کسی از شما به آنها بگوید: "در آرامش باش, گرم نگه دارید و تغذیه کنید,و اما چیزهایی را که برای بدن لازم است به آنها ندهید, این چه فایده ای دارد?
2:17بنابراین حتی ایمان, اگر آثاری نداشته باشد, مرده است, به خودی خود.
2:18حالا ممکنه یکی بگه: «شما ایمان دارید, و من آثاری دارم.» ایمانت را بدون اعمال به من نشان بده! اما ایمان خود را با اعمال به شما نشان خواهم داد.
2:19You believe that there is one God. You do well. But the demons also believe, and they tremble greatly.

انجیل

انجیل مقدس به روایت مرقس 8: 27-33

8:27And Jesus departed with his disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way, he questioned his disciples, گفتن به آنها, “Who do men say that I am?”
8:28And they answered him by saying: “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others perhaps one of the prophets.”
8:29سپس به آنها گفت, "با این حال واقعا, who do you say that I am?” Peter responded by saying to him, “You are the Christ.”
8:30And he admonished them, not to tell anyone about him.
8:31And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and by the high priests, و کاتبان, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
8:32And he spoke the word openly. و پیتر, کنار بردنش, began to correct him.
8:33And turning away and looking at his disciples, he admonished Peter, گفتن, «پشت سر من باش, شیطان, for you do not prefer the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.”
