James 2:22

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I by my works will show thee my faith.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten'son ;

but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:

Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.

And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
