17 Euen so, fayth, yf it haue not deedes, is dead in it selfe: 18 But some man wyll say, thou hast fayth and I haue deedes: shewe me thy fayth by thy deedes, and I wyll shewe thee my faith by my deedes. 19 Beleuest thou that there is one God? Thou doest well. The deuyls also beleue, and tremble. 20 But wylt thou knowe, O thou vayne man, that that fayth which is without workes, is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father iustified through workes, when he had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter? 22 Seest thou not, howe ye faith wrought with his deedes, and through ye deedes was the fayth made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfylled, which sayth: Abraham beleued God, and it was reputed vnto hym for ryghteousnesse: And he was called the friende of God. 24 Ye see then, howe that of deedes a man is iustified, and not of fayth only. 25 Lykewyse also, was not Rahab the harlot iustified through workes, when she had receaued the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirite is dead: euen so, fayth without workes, is dead also James 2:17-26, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
