(12) So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
James
2
(13) For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
James
2
(14) What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
James
2
(15) If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
James
2
(16) And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
James
2
(17) Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
James
2
(18) Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
James
2
(19) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
James
2
(20) But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
James
2
(21) Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
James
2
(22) Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
James
2
(23) And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
James
2
(24) Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James
2
(25) Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
James
2
(26) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
James

(1) MY BRETHREN, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
James
3
(2) For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
James
3
(3) Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
James
3
(4) Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
James
3
(5) Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
