James 2:18-26

Murdock(i) 18 For a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show to me thy faith that is without works; and I will show to thee, my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou dost well; the demons also believe, and tremble. 20 Wouldst thou know, O frail man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Abraham our father, was not he justified by works, in offering his son Isaac upon the altar? 22 Seest thou, that his faith aided his works; and that by the works his faith was rendered complete? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: Abraham believed in God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness, and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Thou seest, that by works a man is justified, and not by faith alone. 25 So also Rahab, the harlot, was not she justified by works, when she entertained the spies, and sent them forth by another way? 26 As the body without the spirit, is dead; so faith without works, is dead also.
