Faith Without Works Is Dead
James
2:14-26
14
What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does
not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother
or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says
to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give
them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17
Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I
have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you
my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there
is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20
But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works
is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified
by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22
Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works
faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was
fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him
for righteousness.”And he was called the friend of God. 24
You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified
by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so
faith without works is dead also."
