James:2:14-26
asv@James:2:14 @What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?
asv@James:2:15 @If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,
asv@James:2:16 @and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?
asv@James:2:17 @Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
asv@James:2:18 @Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I by my works will show thee my faith.
asv@James:2:19 @Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder.
asv@James:2:20 @But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?
asv@James:2:21 @Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?
asv@James:2:22 @Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect;
asv@James:2:23 @and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.
asv@James:2:24 @Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
asv@James:2:25 @And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
asv@James:2:26 @For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
