James 2:18-26
New King James Version
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” (A)Show me your faith without [a]your works, (B)and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works (C)when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see (D)that faith was working together with his works, and by (E)works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, (F)“Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called (G)the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, (H)was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

22 But (A)be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For (B)if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But (C)he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, (D)this one will be blessed in what he does.
