James 2:17-26

Matthew(i) 17 Euen so faythe, yf it haue no dedes is dead in it selfe. 18 Yea and a man myghte saye: Thou haste faythe, and I haue dedes: Shewe me thy faith by thy dedes, and I wyll shew the my faythe by my dedes. 19 Beleuest thou that there is one God? Thou doest well. The deuyls also beleue and tremble. 20 Wylt thou vnderstande (O thou vayne man) that fayth without dedes is dead? 21 Was not Abraham oure father iustifyed thorowe workes when he offered Isaac hys sonne vpon the aultare? 22 Thou seyste howe that faythe wroughte wyth hys dedes, & through the dedes was faythe made perfecte: 23 and the scrypture was fulfylled whiche sayeth: Abraham beleued God, and it was reputed vnto hym for ryghtuousnes: and he was called the frende of God. 24 Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustifyed, and not of fayth onely. 25 Lykewyse also was not Raab the harlot iustifyed thorowe workes, when she receyued the messengers, and sente them out another way? 26 For as the bodye, without the spyryte is dead euen so fayth wythout dedes is dead.
