What shall it profit ,
my brethren ,
if a man say he hath faith ,
but hath not works ?
Shall faith be able to save him ?

James:2:15 @
And if a brother or sister be naked ,
and want daily food :
drb @
James:2:16 @
And one of you say to them :
Go in peace ,
be ye warmed and filled ;
yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body ,
what shall it profit ?
drb @
James:2:17 @
So faith also ,
if it have not works ,
is dead in itself .
drb @
James:2:18 @
But some man will say :
Thou hast faith ,
and I have works :
shew me thy faith without works ;
and I will shew thee ,
by works ,
my faith .
drb @
James:2:19 @
Thou believest that there is one God .
Thou dost well :
the devils also believe and tremble .
drb @
James:2:20 @
But wilt thou know ,
O vain man ,
that faith without works is dead ?

James:2:21 @
Was not Abraham our father justified by works ,
offering up Isaac his son upon the altar ?
drb @
James:2:22 @
Seest thou ,
that faith did co-operate with his works ;
and by works faith was made perfect ?
drb @
James:2:23 @
And the scripture was fulfilled ,
saying :
Abraham believed God ,
and it was reputed to him to justice ,
and he was called the friend of God .
drb @
James:2:24 @
Do you see that by works a man is justified ;
and not by faith only ?
drb @
James:2:25 @
And in like manner also Rahab the harlot ,
was not she justified by works ,
receiving the messengers ,
and sending them out another way ?
drb @
James:2:26 @
For even as the body without the spirit is dead ;
so also faith without works is dead .
