James 2:17-21

In the same way, faith also, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”

You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.

But are you willing to acknowledge, you foolish person, that faith without works is useless?

Was our father Abraham not justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?
