59:002:016 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?
59:002:017 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
59:002:018 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.
59:002:019 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the
devils also believe, and tremble.
59:002:020 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is
dead?
59:002:021 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had
offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
59:002:022 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was
faith made perfect?
59:002:023 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.
59:002:024 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by
faith only.
59:002:025 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works,
when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out
another way?
59:002:026 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without
works is dead also.
59:003:001 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall
receive the greater condemnation.
59:003:002 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in
word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the
whole body.
59:003:003 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey
us; and we turn about their whole body.
59:003:004 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are
driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very
small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
59:003:005 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great
things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
59:003:006 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the
tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and
setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of
hell.
59:003:007 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and
of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of
mankind:
59:003:008 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of
deadly poison.
59:003:009 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse
we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
59:003:010 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My
brethren, these things ought not so to be.
