What profit is it, my brethren, if anyone says he has faith, but has not works; can such faith save him?

and ye show regard to him who is wearing the splendid apparel, and say, "Sit here in a good place"; and say to the poor man, "Stand, or sit under my footstool";

You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder!

For whosoever keeps the whole law, but stumbles in one point, has become guilty of all.

My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

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

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.

do ye not make a distinction among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

If, however, ye fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," ye do well;

But some one will say, "You have faith, and I have works": show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

Hearken, my beloved brethren, did not God choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love Him?

But are you willing to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is worthless?

and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness"; and he was called "God's Friend."

If a brother or a sister be naked, and in want of daily food,

But ye dishonored the poor man! Do not the rich oppress you, and do they not drag you before the judgment-seats?

Do they not blaspheme the worthy name by which ye were called?

but, if ye show respect to persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

For He Who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not kill." Now, if you do not commit adultery, but kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.

For, if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in splendid apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile apparel;

Was not Abraham, our father, justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

For the judgment is without mercy to him who showed no mercy: mercy exults over judgment.

And, in like manner, was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out by another way?

So speak, and so do, as those who are about to be judged by a law of liberty.

You see that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith perfected;

and one of you say to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," but ye give them not the things needful for the body, what does it profit?
