* What the profit , brethren of me , if faith may say any one to have , works but not may have ? not is able the faith to save him ? * If but a brother or a sister naked ones should be , and wanting may be of the daily food , * may say and any one to them from of you : Go you away in peace , be you warmed and be you filled ; not you may give but to them the things necessary of the body , what the profit ? * Thus also faith , if not if may have works , dead it is by itself . * But will say some one : Thou faith hast , and I works have ; show to me the faith of thee without the works of thee , and I will show to thee by the works of me the faith of me . * Thou believest , that the God one is ; well thou doest ; even the demons believe , and shudder . * Wishest thou but to know , O man vain , that the faith without the works dead is ? * Abraham the father of us not by works was made righteous , having brought up Isaac the son of himself to the altar ? * Seest thou , that the faith worked with the works of him , and by the works the faith was perfected ? * And was fulfilled the writing that saying : Believed but Abraham the God , and it was counted to him for righteousness ; and a friend of God he was called . * Do you see , that by works is made righteous a man , and not by faith alone ? * In like manner and also Rahab the harlot not by works was justified , having received the messengers , and by another way having sent out ? * As for the body without breath dead is , so also the faith without the works dead is .
