Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:1 - My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:2 - For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:7 - Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:8 - If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

Faith and Works

(cf. Gen 22; Jos 2 )
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:14 - What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:15 - If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:16 - And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:17 - Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:18 - Yea, a man may 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:19 - Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:20 - But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:21 - Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:22 - Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:23 - And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:24 - Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:25 - Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:26 - For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
