41 And let thy loving [a]kindness come unto me, O Lord, and thy salvation according to thy promise.
42 So shall I [b]make answer unto my blasphemers: for I trust in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for I wait for thy judgments.
44 So shall I always keep thy Law forever and ever.
45 And I will [c]walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
46 I will speak also of thy testimonies before [d]Kings, and will not be ashamed.
47 And my delight shall be in thy Commandments, which I have loved.
48 Mine hands also will I lift up unto thy Commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.
29 ¶ So when Moses came down from mount Sinai, the two Tables of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand, as he descended from the mount: (now Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone bright, after that God had talked with him).
30 And Aaron and all the children of Israel looked upon Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone bright, and they were [a]afraid to come near him.
31 But Moses called them: and Aaron and all the chief of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
32 And afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he charged them with all that the Lord had said unto him in mount Sinai.
33 So Moses made an end of communing with them, (A)and had put a covering upon his face.
34 But, when Moses came [b]before the Lord to speak with him, he took off the covering until he came out: then he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, how the skin of Moses’ face shone bright: therefore Moses put the covering upon his face, until he went to speak with God.
14 [a]What availeth it my brethren, though a man saith, he hath faith, when he hath no works? can that faith save him?
15 [b]For if a brother or a sister be naked and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace: warm yourselves, and fill your bellies, notwithstanding ye give them not those things, which are needful to the body, what helpeth it?
17 Even so the faith, if it have no works, is dead in itself.
18 But [c]some man might say, Thou hast the faith, and I have works: show me thy faith out of thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
19 [d]Thou believest that there is one God: thou doest well: the devils also believe it, and tremble.
20 [e]But wilt thou understand, O thou vain man, that the faith which is without works, is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father [f]justified through works, (A)when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou not that the faith [g]wrought with his works? and through the works was the faith made [h]perfect.
23 And the Scripture was [i]fulfilled which saith, (B)Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God.
24 [j]Ye see then how that of works a man is [k]justified, and not of [l]faith only.
25 [m]Likewise also was not (C)Rahab the harlot justified through works, when she had received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
26 [n]For as the body without the spirit is dead, even so the faith without works is dead.
