²⁰ But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

¹¹ He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, But he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.

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

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

²¹ Because, knowing God, they didn't glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

¹⁷ Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

²⁶ If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.

¹⁰ For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

⁶ from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;

⁸ Be careful that you don't let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

³ For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

⁵ thus says Yahweh, What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

⁸ Consider, you senseless among the people; You fools, when will you be wise?

⁹ He who implanted the ear, won't he hear? He who formed the eye, won't he see?

¹⁰ He who disciplines the nations, won't he punish? He who teaches man knows.

¹¹ Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.

¹¹ For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn't consider it.

¹² But vain man can become wise If a man can be born as a wild donkey's colt.

³⁵ But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?"

³⁶ You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
