Faith and Works

14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

14:

15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

15:

16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit?

16:

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

17:

18 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.

18:

19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

19:

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

20:

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

21:

22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

22:

23 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.

23:

24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

24:

25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way?

25:

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

26:
