Can such faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothes and lacks daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, keep warm and be well fed,' but does not provide for their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, 'You have faith, and I have works.' Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith without works is useless? 21 Was not our father Abraham justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith was working together with his works, and by works his faith was made perfect. 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, 'Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,' and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 In the same way, was not Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another route? 26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
