Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

²⁹ And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord.

³⁰ And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near.

³¹ And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them.

³² And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord in mount Sinai.

³³ And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face.

³⁴ But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him.

³⁵ And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.

¹⁴ What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?

¹⁵ And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food:

¹⁶ And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?

¹⁷ So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

¹⁸ But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith.

¹⁹ Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble.

²⁰ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar?

²² Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect?

²³ And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God.

²⁴ Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?

²⁵ And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers, and sending them out another way?

²⁶ For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead.
