14 What availeth it, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, when he hath no deeds? Can faith save him?
15 If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of daily food,
16 and one of you say unto them, "Depart in peace, God send you warmness and food," notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body: what helpeth it them?
17 Even so faith, if it have no deeds, is dead in itself.
18 Yea, and a man might say, "Thou hast faith, and I have deeds: Show me thy faith by thy deeds: and I will show thee my faith by my deeds."
19 Believest thou that there is one God? Thou doest well. The devils also believe and tremble.
20 Wilt thou understand, o thou vain man, that faith without deeds is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified through works when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Thou seest how that faith wrought within his deeds, and through the deeds was the faith made perfect.
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was reputed unto him for righteousness," and he was called the friend of God.
24 Ye see, then, how that of deeds a man is justified, and not of faith only.
25 Likewise also, was not Rahab the harlot justified through works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, even so faith without deeds is dead.
