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.
  • 1 John 3:14-20 : 14 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers and sisters.

And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 But whoever has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need, yet closes his heart against them, how does the love of God abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions and in truth. 19 By this we will know that we belong to the truth and will reassure our hearts in His presence. 20 For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
  • 1 John 4:18-21 : 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment.

For the one who does not love their brother or sister whom they have seen cannot love God whom they have not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from Him: Whoever loves God must also love their brother or sister.

    9 Is this blessedness then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.

    10 How then was it credited? Was it while he was circumcised or uncircumcised? It was not while he was circumcised, but while he was uncircumcised.

    11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness might also be credited to them,

    12 and to be the father of the circumcised who are not only circumcised but also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
