BLB(i)
17 So also, faith by itself if it has not works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you faith by my works.
19 You believe that God is one. You are doing well! Even the demons believe that, and shudder!
20 But do you want to come to know, O foolish man, that faith apart from works is worthless?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, having offered his son Isaac upon the altar?
22 You see that his faith was working with his works, and by his works, his faith was perfected.
23 And the Scripture was fulfilled, saying, “And Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
24 You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone.
25 And likewise was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, having received the messengers and having sent them forth by another way?
26 For just as the body apart from spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
