So we are even at fault in not avenging all this innocent blood of our Lord and of the Christians which they shed for three hundred years after the destruction of Jerusalem, and the blood of the children they have shed since then (which still shines forth from their eyes and their skin).

"A Stepping Stone to Partiality" Now we come to what is indicated as 'Chapter 2' in your bibles, but originally was just a new paragraph in the original writings. James is not actually indicating a break in though, but a change in problems he is now addressing. He will now address a problem that is rampant in the church he is addressing, and what particularly acute among the Jewish Christians. The problem being one of religious inheritance.
