James:2:14-26
drb@James:2:14 @What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?
drb@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?
drb@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.
