²⁰ Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use?

¹¹ He who does work on his land will not be short of bread; but he who goes after foolish men is without sense.

²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead even so faith without works is dead.

⁶ Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.

²¹ Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark.
