James 2:19-26
-
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
-
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
-
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
-
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
-
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.
-
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
-
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
-
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
