rsv@James:2:14 @ What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?
rsv@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food,
rsv@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit?
rsv@James:2:17 @ So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.
rsv@James:2:18 @ But some one will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
rsv@James:2:19 @ You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe--and shudder.
rsv@James:2:20 @ Do you want to be shown, you shallow man, that faith apart from works is barren?
rsv@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar?
rsv@James:2:22 @ You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works,
rsv@James:2:23 @ and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness"; and he was called the friend of God.
rsv@James:2:24 @ You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
rsv@James:2:25 @ And in the same way was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
rsv@James:2:26 @ For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.
