[HNV] The Letter from Jacob 2, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
The Letter from Jacob, Chapter 2
{2:1} My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Yeshua the
Messiah of glory with partiality. {2:2} For if a man with a gold ring,
in fine clothing, comes into your [1]synagogue[1], and a poor man in
filthy clothing also comes in; {2:3} 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} haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges
with evil thoughts? {2:5} 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} But you
have dishonored the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you, and
personally drag you before the courts? {2:7} Don't they blaspheme the
honorable name by which you are called? {2:8} However, if you fulfill
the royal law, according to the Scripture, You shall love your
neighbor as yourself,[2] you do well. {2:9} But if you show
partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as
transgressors. {2:10} For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet
stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. {2:11} For he who
said, Do not commit adultery,[3] also said, Do not commit
murder.[4] Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have
become a transgressor of the law. {2:12} So speak, and so do, as men
who are to be judged by a law of freedom. {2:13} For judgment is
without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over
judgment.
{2:14} What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but
has no works? Can faith save him? {2:15} And if a brother or sister is
naked and in lack of daily food, {2:16} and one of you tells them, Go
in peace, be warmed and filled; and yet you didn't give them the
things the body needs, what good is it? {2:17} Even so faith, if it
has no works, is dead in itself. {2:18} Yes, a man will say, You have
faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without works, and I by
my works will show you my faith.
{2:19} You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also
believe, and shudder. {2:20} But do you want to know, vain man, that
faith apart from works is dead? {2:21} Wasn't Abraham our father
justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
{2:22} You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith
was perfected; {2:23} and the Scripture was fulfilled which says,
Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as
righteousness;[5] and he was called the friend of God. {2:24} You see
then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. {2:25}
In the same way, wasn't Rahab the prostitute also justified by works,
in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
{2:26} For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith
apart from works is dead.

[HNV] Num 31, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
Numbers, starting at chapter 31
{31:1} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {31:2} Avenge the children
of Israel for the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your
people.
{31:3} Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm men from among you
for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD's
vengeance on Midian. {31:4} Of every tribe one thousand, throughout
all the tribes of Israel, you shall send to the war. {31:5} So there
were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every
tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. {31:6} Moses sent them, one
thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of
Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and
the [1]shofars[1] for the alarm in his hand. {31:7} They warred
against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they killed every
male. {31:8} They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their
slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of
Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they killed with the sword. {31:9}
The children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their
little ones; and all their livestock, and all their flocks, and all
their goods, they took for a prey. {31:10} All their cities in the
places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burnt with
fire. {31:11} They took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man
and of animal. {31:12} They brought the captives, and the prey, and
the spoil, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the
congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of
Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho. {31:13} Moses, and Eleazar
the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to
meet them outside of the camp. {31:14} Moses was angry with the
officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of
hundreds, who came from the service of the war. {31:15} Moses said to
them, Have you saved all the women alive? {31:16} Behold, these
caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to
commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the
plague was among the congregation of the LORD. {31:17} Now therefore
kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has
known man by lying with him. {31:18} But all the girls, who have not
known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
{31:19} Encamp outside of the camp seven days: whoever has killed
any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on
the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives. {31:20}
As to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of
goats' hair, and all things made of wood, you shall purify yourselves.
{31:21} Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the
battle, This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded
Moses: {31:22} however the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron,
the tin, and the lead, {31:23} everything that may withstand the fire,
you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean;
nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all
that doesn't withstand the fire you shall make to go through the
water. {31:24} You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you
shall be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp.
{31:25} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {31:26} Take the sum of
the prey that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar
the priest, and the heads of the fathers' households of the
congregation; {31:27} and divide the prey into two parts: between the
men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
{31:28} Levy a tribute to the LORD of the men of war who went out to
battle: one soul of five hundred; of the persons, of the cattle, of
the donkeys, and of the flocks. {31:29} Take it of their half, and
give it to Eleazar the priest, for the LORD's wave offering. {31:30}
Of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one drawn out of
every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the
flocks, of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who
perform the duty of the tabernacle of the LORD.
{31:31} Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
{31:32} Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war
took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep, {31:33} and
seventy-two thousand head of cattle, {31:34} and sixty-one thousand
donkeys, {31:35} and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women
who had not known man by lying with him. {31:36} The half, which was
the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred
thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep: {31:37} and the LORD's
tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five. {31:38} The cattle
were thirty-six thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was seventy-two.
{31:39} The donkeys were
