But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?


So also faith, if it has no works, is dead by itself. But some man will say, Thou have faith, and I have works. Show me thy faith from thy works, and I will show thee from my works my faith. Thou believe that there is one God, thou do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. read more.
But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? Was not Abraham our father made righteous from works, having offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? Thou see that faith was working with his works, and from the works, faith was fully perfected. And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness, and he was called a friend of God. Ye see therefore that from works a man is made righteous, and not from faith only. And likewise also was not Rahab the harlot made righteous from works, having received the agents, and having sent them out another way? For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without the works is dead.




as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee. And because he raised him from the dead, no longer going to return to decay, he has spoken this way: I will give to you the faithful holy things of David. Therefore also he says in another, Thou will not give thy Holy man to see decay. read more.
For indeed David, who served his own generation in the plan of God, became asleep, and was added near his fathers, and saw decay. But he whom God raised up saw no decay. Be it known to you therefore, men, brothers, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you. And from all things of which ye could not be make righteous by the Law of Moses, in this man every man who believes is made righteous.

For as many as are from works of law are under a curse, for it is written, Cursed is every man who does not continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them. But that no man is made righteous by law before God, is evident, because, The righteous man will live from faith.

But I say to you, that every idle word, whatever men may speak, they will render account about it in the day of judgment. For from thy words thou will be justified, and from thy words thou will be condemned.

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness. Ye know therefore that those from faith, these are sons of Abraham. And the scripture having foreseen that God makes the Gentiles righteous from faith, proclaimed the good-news in advance to Abraham: In thee all the nations will be blessed. read more.
So then those from faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham. For as many as are from works of law are under a curse, for it is written, Cursed is every man who does not continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them. But that no man is made righteous by law before God, is evident, because, The righteous man will live from faith. And the law is not from faith, but the man who does them will live in them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed is every man who hangs on a tree. So that the blessing of Abraham might occur for the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

We therefore consider a man to be made righteous by faith independent of works of law. Or is God of Jews only and not also of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles also, since God is one, who will make the man of circumcision righteous from faith, and the man of uncircumcision through faith.

But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?


And having opened his mouth, Peter said, In truth, I am overwhelmed that God is not partial, but in every nation, he who fears him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to him.


But ye beloved, building up yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life.

Now this same thing also, having applied all eagerness, furnish in your faith, virtue, and in virtue, knowledge, and in knowledge, self-control, and in self-control, perseverance, and in perseverance, piety, and in piety, brotherly affection, and in brotherly affection, love. read more.
For these things existing in you and abounding, it leads to not being idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he in whom these things are not present is blind, being near-sighted, having deliberately forgotten the purification of his former sins.

Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? And Jesus said to him, Thou shall love Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. This is the first and great commandment. read more.
And the second is like it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law, and the prophets.

Consequently nothing is condemnation now to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to flesh but according to Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and of death. For the impotence of the law, in that it was weak because of the flesh, God, having sent his own Son in a form of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh, read more.
so that the justice of the law might be fulfilled in us, those who walk not according to flesh, but according to Spirit. For those who are according to flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those according to Spirit the things of the Spirit. For the mentality of the flesh is death, but the mentality of the Spirit is life and peace. Because the mentality of the flesh is enmity against God, for it is not submissive to the law of God, for neither is it able. And those who are in flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, this man is not of him. And if Christ is in you, the body is indeed dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you. So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh to live according to flesh. For if ye live according to flesh, ye are going to die, but if in spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God. And if children, also heirs, heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer jointly, so that we may also be glorified jointly. For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not comparable to the glory that is going to be revealed for us.

Brothers, truly my heart's desire and my supplication to God for Israel is for salvation. For I testify to them that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For not understanding the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God. read more.
For Christ is the end of law for righteousness, to every man who believes. For Moses writes in the righteousness from the law, that the man that does them will live in them. But the righteousness from faith says thus: Thou should not say in thy heart, Who will ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down) or, Who will descend into the abyss? (That is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that is, the word of faith that we preach: that if thou will confess with thy mouth, Lord Jesus, and will believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou will be saved. For a man believes in the heart for righteousness, and he confesses with the mouth for salvation. For the scripture says, Every man who believes in him will not be shamed. For there is no distinction of a Jew and also of a Greek, for the same Lord is of all men, being rich toward all those who call upon him. For every man, whoever may call upon the name of Lord will be saved.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. And those of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and the lusts. read more.
If we live in Spirit, we should also march in Spirit.

See that not any man repays evil for evil to any man, but always pursue the good, both for each other and for all. Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. read more.
In everything express thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not disdain prophecies, but examine all things. Hold firm the good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And may the God of peace himself sanctify you thoroughly. And may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, blamelessly at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If ye indeed fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well. But if ye respect personages, ye work sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law, and stumbles on one, he has become guilty of all. read more.
For he who said thou shall not commit adultery, also said thou shall not murder. Now if thou will not commit adultery, but murder, thou have become a transgressor of law. So speak ye, and so do ye, as men who are to be judged by a law of liberty. For the judgment is merciless to him who did no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. What is the benefit, my brothers, if some man should say to have faith, but has no works? Can the faith save him? And if a brother or sister may be unclothed, and may be destitute of daily food, and some man of you would say to them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and fed, but ye would not give them the things necessary for the body, what is the benefit? So also faith, if it has no works, is dead by itself. But some man will say, Thou have faith, and I have works. Show me thy faith from thy works, and I will show thee from my works my faith. Thou believe that there is one God, thou do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? Was not Abraham our father made righteous from works, having offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? Thou see that faith was working with his works, and from the works, faith was fully perfected.

Ye see therefore that from works a man is made righteous, and not from faith only. And likewise also was not Rahab the harlot made righteous from works, having received the agents, and having sent them out another way? For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without the works is dead.


Thou believe that there is one God, thou do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?


Can thou find out God by searching? Can thou find out the Almighty to perfection? It is high as heaven; what can thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what can thou know? The measure of it is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. read more.
If he passes through, and shuts up, and all to judgment, then who can hinder him? For he knows FALSE men. He also sees iniquity. Will he not then consider it? But vain man is void of understanding. Yea, man is born [as] a wild donkey's colt.

But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? Was not Abraham our father made righteous from works, having offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? Thou see that faith was working with his works, and from the works, faith was fully perfected.


Then the King will say to those at his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat.
