* What doth it profit , my brethren , though a man say (5725 ) he hath (5721 ) faith , and have (5725 ) not works ? can (5736 ) faith save (5658 ) him ? * If a brother or sister be (5725 ) naked , and destitute (5746 ) (5753 ) of daily food , * And one of you say (5632 ) unto them , Depart (5720 ) in peace , be ye warmed (5728 ) and filled (5744 ); notwithstanding ye give (5632 ) them not those things which are needful to the body ; what doth it profit ? * Even so faith , if it hath (5725 ) not works , is (5748 ) dead , being alone . * Yea , a man may say (5692 ), Thou hast (5719 ) faith , and I have (5719 ) works : shew (5657 ) me thy faith without thy works , and I will shew (5692 ) thee my faith by my works . * Thou believest (5719 ) that there is (5748 ) one God ; thou doest (5719 ) well : the devils also believe (5719 ), and tremble (5719 ). * But wilt (5719 ) thou know (5629 ), O vain man , that faith without works is (5748 ) dead ? * Was not Abraham our father justified (5681 ) by works , when he had offered (5660 ) Isaac his son upon the altar ? * Seest thou (5719 ) how faith wrought (5707 ) with his works , and by works was faith made perfect (5681 )? * And the scripture was fulfilled (5681 ) which saith (5723 ), Abraham believed (5656 ) God , and it was imputed (5681 ) unto him for righteousness : and he was called (5681 ) the Friend of God . * Ye see (5719 ) then how that by works a man is justified (5743 ), and not by faith only . * Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified (5681 ) by works , when she had received (5666 ) the messengers , and had sent them out (5631 ) another way ? * For as the body without the spirit is (5748 ) dead , so faith without works is (5748 ) dead also .
