14 My brethren, what shall it profit, if any man say that he hath faith, but he hath not works? whether faith shall be able to save him?
15 And if a brother or sister be naked, and have need of each day’s livelode [or lifelode],
16 and if any of you say to them, Go ye in peace, be ye made hot, and be ye [full]-filled; but if ye give not to them those things that be necessary to the body, what shall it profit?
17 So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead in itself.
18 But some man shall say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show thou to me thy faith without works, and I shall show to thee my faith of works.
19 Thou believest, that one God is; thou doest well; and devils believe, and [together] tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, thou vain man, that faith without works is idle?
21 Whether Abraham, our father, was not justified of works, offering Isaac, his son, on the altar?
22 Therefore thou seest, that faith wrought with his works, and his faith was [ful] filled of works.
23 And the scripture was [ful] filled, saying, Abraham believed to God, and it was areckoned to him to rightwiseness, and he was called the friend of God.
24 Ye see that a man is justified of works, and not of faith only.
25 In like manner, whether also Rahab, the whore, was not justified of works, and received the messengers, and sent them out by another way?
26 For as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
