James 2:18-26 But someone will say, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith from my works.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ But someone will say, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith from my works. ¹⁹ You believe that there is one God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble. ²⁰ But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? ²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² Do you see how faith worked with his works, and from the works faith was made complete? ²³ And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness, and he was called the friend of God." ²⁴ You see then how a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. ²⁵ And in the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she had received the messengers and had sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
