James 2:22

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

But someone may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith which works by charity.

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac, and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

But whosoever keeps his word, in him verily is the charity of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

In this the charity with us is made perfect, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, that as he is, so are we in this world.

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

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