James 2:13-23

Wesley(i) 13 For judgment without mercy shall be to him that shewed no mercy: mercy glorieth over judgment. 14 What doth it profit, my brethren, tho' a man say he hath faith, and have not works? 15 Can that faith save him? If a brother or a sister be naked, 16 and want daily food, And one of you say to them, Depart in peace; be ye warmed and filled, but give them not the things needful for the body, what doth it profit? 17 So likewise faith, if it hath not works, is dead in itself. 18 But one will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works. Shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest there is one God: thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble. 20 But art thou willing to know, O empty man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Thou seest that faith wrought together with his works, and by works was faith made perfect. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God.
