Jas 1:11 : “So also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.” So R.V. But it should be, “So shall THE RICH MAN also fade away in his ways.”

Jas 2:2 : “And there come in also a poor man.” So R.V. But it is “And there come in A POOR MAN also.”

Jas 2:11 : “For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill.” So R.V. But the emphasis is not on the verb or the speaker, but on something additional which he said – “For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said DO NOT KILL also.”

Jas 2:17 : “Even so faith.” So R.V. “Even so FAITH also.”

Jas 2:25 : “Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works.” R.V., “was not also Rahab.” But correctly, it should be “was not RAHAB also.”

Jas 2:26 : “So faith without works is dead also.” Here it is not “dead” which is the emphatic word, but it is “faith,” and by implication the word “body” in the first clause – “for as THE BODY without the Spirit is dead, so FAITH also without works is dead.” The R.V. reads “Even so faith apart from works is dead.”

Jas 3:2 : “The same...is able also to bridle the whole body.” Here the R.V. corrects it: “able to bridle THE WHOLE BODY also.”

Jas 3:4 : “Behold also the ships.” R.V. correctly, “Behold THE SHIPS also.”

Jas 3:5 : “Even so the tongue.” R.V. correctly, “so THE TONGUE also.”
