James:2:14-26
nasb@James:2:14 @What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?
nasb@James:2:15 @If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,
nasb@James:2:16 @and one of you says to them, " Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?
nasb@James:2:17 @Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
nasb@James:2:18 @But someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works."
nasb@James:2:19 @You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.
nasb@James:2:20 @But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?
nasb@James:2:21 @Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
nasb@James:2:22 @You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;
nasb@James:2:23 @and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, " AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God.
nasb@James:2:24 @You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
nasb@James:2:25 @In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
nasb@James:2:26 @For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
