But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
He that tills his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that follows vain persons is void of understanding.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
No but, O man, who are you that reply against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?

Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone.
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
