James 2:17-26 Thus also faith, if not if may have works, dead it is by itself.

Diaglott⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Thus also faith, if not if may have works, dead it is by itself. ¹⁸ But will say some one: Thou faith hast, and I works have; show to me the faith of thee without the works of thee, and I will show to thee by the works of me the faith of me. ¹⁹ Thou believest, that the God one is; well thou doest; even the demons believe, and shudder. ²⁰ Wishest thou but to know, O man vain, that the faith without the works dead is? ²¹ Abraham the father of us not by works was made righteous, having brought up Isaac the son of himself to the altar? ²² Seest thou, that the faith worked with the works of him, and by the works the faith was perfected? ²³ And was fulfilled the writing that saying: Believed but Abraham the God, and it was counted to him for righteousness; and a friend of God he was called. ²⁴ Do you see, that by works is made righteous a man, and not by faith alone? ²⁵ In like manner and also Rahab the harlot not by works was justified, having received the messengers, and by another way having sent out? ²⁶ As for the body without breath dead is, so also the faith without the works dead is.
