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 were to decide to do so, that is, to take back to himself his spirit and breath of life,

When you withdraw your favor, they are disappointed; Take away their breath, and they die and return to dust.

When they stop breathing, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans evaporate!

then man's dust will go back to the earth, returning to what it was, and the spirit will return to the God who gave it.

"Stop trusting in human beings, whose life breath is in their nostrils, for what are they really worth?"

Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, "Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit." After he said this, he breathed his last.

As they continued to stone Stephen, he kept praying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!"

What good does it do, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but does not prove it with actions? This kind of faith cannot save him, can it?
