James 2:22

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Yea, and a man might say, "Thou hast faith, and I have deeds: Show me thy faith by thy deeds: and I will show thee my faith by my deeds."

For in Jesus Christ, neither is circumcision anything worth, neither yet uncircumcision: but faith, which by love is mighty in operation.

By faith Abraham offered up Isaac, when he was tempted, and he offered him being his only begotten son, which had received the promises:

He that keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfect, indeed. And hereby know we that we are in him.

Herein is the love perfect with us, that we should have confidence in the day of judgment; For as he is, even so are we in this world.

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

Ye see, then, how that of deeds a man is justified, and not of faith only.
