*
Even so faith ,
if it hath not works ,
is dead ,
being alone .
*
Yea ,
a man may say ,
Thou hast faith ,
and I have works :
shew me thy faith without thy works ,
and I will shew thee my faith by my works .
*
Thou believest that there is one God ;
thou doest well :
the devils also believe ,
and tremble .
*
But wilt thou know ,
O vain man ,
that faith without works is dead ?
*
Was not Abraham our father justified by works ,
when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar ?
*
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works ,
and by works was faith made perfect ?
*
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith ,
Abraham believed God ,
and it was imputed unto him for righteousness :
and he was called the Friend of God .
*
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified ,
and not by faith only .
*
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works ,
when she had received the messengers ,
and had sent them out another way ?
*
For as the body without the spirit is dead ,
so faith without works is dead also .
