James 2:26

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

But, O vain man, dost thou desire to know that faith without works is dead?

Even so faith, if it does not have works, is dead in and of itself.

If he were to set his heart upon man and gather unto himself his spirit and his breath,

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their spirit, they cease to exist and return to their dust.

His spirit shall go forth, he shall return to his earth; in that very day all his thoughts shall perish.

and the dust returns to the earth as it was before and the spirit returns unto God who gave it.

Cease from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what is he to be accounted of?

Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit; and having said thus, he gave up the spirit.

And they stoned Stephen calling upon God and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

My brethren, What shall it profit though someone says that they have faith and do not have works? Shall this type of faith be able to save them?
