riversident - James:2:14-26

riversident@James:2:14 @ Of what use is it, my brethren, for any one to say that he has faith, if he has not works? Can faith save him?

riversident@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister is naked and lacks food for the day

riversident@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and fed," but you do not give them what the body needs, what is the good of it?

riversident@James:2:17 @ Just so faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

riversident@James:2:18 @ But some one will say, "You have faith and I have works. Show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works."

riversident@James:2:19 @ You have faith that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons have that faith, and they shudder.

riversident@James:2:20 @ Are you willing to learn, O vacant-minded man, that faith without works is useless?

riversident@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham, our father, pronounced righteous because of works when he laid Isaac his son on the altar?

riversident@James:2:22 @ You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was made perfect

riversident@James:2:23 @ and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness" and he was called "God's friend."

riversident@James:2:24 @ You see that a man is pronounced righteous because of works and not because of faith alone.

riversident@James:2:25 @ In the same way was not Rahab, the prostitute, pronounced righteous because of works when she had received the messengers and sent them out by a different road?

riversident@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.
