^{15 Ref} If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,

^{16 Ref} and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?

^{17 Ref} Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

^{18 Ref} Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from `thy' works, and I by my works will show thee `my' faith.

^{19 Ref} Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder.

^{20 Ref} But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?

^{21 Ref} Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?

^{22 Ref} Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect;

^{23 Ref} and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.

^{24 Ref} Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.

^{25 Ref} And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

^{26 Ref} For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
