2:11For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

2:12So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

2:13For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

2:14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

2:15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

2:16And 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?

2:17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

2:18Yea, 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.

2:19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

2:20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

2:21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

2:22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

2:23And 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.

2:24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

2:25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

2:26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
