James 2:22

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Perhaps a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith by thy works, and I will shew thee by my works my faith.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith exerting its energy by love.

By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac; and he who had received the promise, presented in sacrifice his only begotten son,

But whosoever keepeth his word, verily in him is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.

By this is his love towards us perfected, that we might have confidence at the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world.

Observe therefore that by works a man is justified, and not by faith merely.
