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

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

¹⁷ Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

⁷ and the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto God who gave it.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, calling upon `the Lord', and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

⁶⁰ And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

⁴⁶ And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost.

²² Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?

⁴ His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.

²⁹ Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust.

¹⁴ What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?

¹⁴ If he set his heart upon himself, `If' he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

¹⁵ All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust.
