James 2:26

Just as the body without the spirit is dead; even so faith without works is dead.

Are you willing to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is useless (barren) (lifeless)?

Even so, faith without works is dead. It is alone and by itself!

If He should determine to do so, If He should gather to himself his spirit and his breath,

You hide your face, and they are frightened. You take away their breath, and they die and return to dust.

His spirit (Hebrew: ruach, breath, life) departs, he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish (come to an end).

Then the dust will return to the earth as it was. The spirit (life) will return to God who gave it.

Stop trusting people, whose breath (life) is in their nostrils. How can they be worth anything?

Jesus cried with a loud voice: Father, into your hands I commend my spirit. After saying this he quit breathing.

They stoned Stephen. He called out: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!

What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith but he does not have works? Can that faith save him?

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