13 for judgment without mercy, will be to him who showed no mercy: but mercy exults over judgment.
14 What is the advantage, my brethren, if any one say he have faith, but have not works? Can faith save him?
15 For if a brother or a sister be naked, or destitute of daily food,
16 and any one of you say to him, Depart in peace: be warmed, and be filled; yet give him none of the things needful for the body, what is the advantage?
17 So, also, faith, if it have not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Also, one may say, You have faith, and I have works: show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19 You believe that there is one God; you do well: even the demons believe and tremble.
20 Besides, would you know, O vain man, that faith, without works, is dead?
21 Was not Abraham, our father, justified by works, when he had lifted up Isaac, his son, upon the altar?
22 You see that his faith co-operated with his works, and by works his faith was perfected.
23 And so that scripture was fulfilled, which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God."
