James 2:26

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

If he should set against him his heart, His spirit and his inspiration, unto himself he should withdraw.

Thou hidest thy face, they are dismayed, Thou withdrawest their spirit, They cease to breathe, And, unto their own dust, do they return:

His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.

And the dust return to the earth, as it was, - and, the spirit, return unto God, who gave it.

Cease ye from the son of earth, In whose nostrils is but a breath, - For wherein to be reckoned upon, is he?

And, calling out with a loud voice, Jesus said - Father! into thy hands, I commend my spirit. And, this, saying, he ceased to breathe.

And they stoned Stephen, as he was invoking and saying - Lord Jesus! give welcome unto my spirit.

What profit, my brethren, - if one should be saying he hath, faith, but hath not, works; can his faith save him?
