James:2:18-26
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
