14 What a vayleth it my brethre, though a man saye he hath faith, when he hath no dedes? Can faith saue him?
15 If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of dayly fode,
16 & one of you saye vnto them: Departe in peace, God sende you warmnes and fode: notwithstodinge ye geue them not tho thinges which are nedfull to the body: what helpeth it them?
17 Euen so faith, yf it haue no dedes, is deed in it selfe.
18 Ye & a man might saye: Thou hast faith, and I haue dedes: Shewe me thy faith by thy dedes: and I wil shewe the my faith by my dedes.
19 Beleuest thou yt ther is one God? Thou doest well. The deuils also beleue and tremble.
20 Wilt thou vnderstode o thou vayne man that faith with out dedes is deed:
21 Was not Abraham oure father iustified thorow workes when he offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter?
22 Thou seist how yt faith wrought with his dedes, and through ye dedes was the faith made perfect:
23 & the scripture was fulfilled which faith: Abraha beleued God and it was reputed vnto him for rightewesnes: and he was called ye frende of God.
24 Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified, and not of faith only
25 Likewise also was not Raab the harlot iustified thorow workes, when she receaued the messengers, and sent them out another waye?
26 For as the body, with oute the sprete is deed, euen so faith wt out dedes is deed.
