14 WHAT is the use,[Henyono, utilitas.] my brethren, if a man say, I have faith, and works he hath not? How can his faith save him?
15 And, if a brother or sister be naked, and wanting the food of to-day,
16 and any one of you shall say to them, Go in peace, be warm, and be satisfied, and give them not what is necessary for the body, what (would be) the use?
17 Thus also the faith that hath not works is dead, (being) alone.
18 For a man saith, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith from my works.
19 Thou believest that Aloha is one: thou doest well; the demons also believe and tremble.
20 Art thou willing to know, O weak man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Our father Abraham, was he not by works justified, when he offered Ishok his son on the altar?
22 Thou seest that his faith was helpful [Vide CASTELL'S Hept. Lex. in -.] unto his works; and by works his faith was perfected,
23 and the scripture was accomplished which said, that Abraham believed in Aloha, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness, and the friend of Aloha he was called.
24 Thou seest that by works man is justified, and not by faith alone.
25 So also Rachab the harlot, was she not by works justified when she received the spies, and by another way sent them forth?
26 Thus, as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the faith which is without works is dead.
