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

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

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

⁷ And the dust returns to the earth as it was, And the spirit returns to God who gave it.

⁵⁹ They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my Spirit!"

⁶⁰ He kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, don't hold this sin against them!" When he had said this, he fell asleep.

¹⁵ All flesh would perish together, And man would turn again to dust.
