A body that doesn’t breathe is dead. In the same way faith that does nothing is dead.
You hide your face, and they are terrified. You take away their breath, and they die and return to dust.
When they breathe their last breath, they return to the ground. On that day their plans come to an end.
Then the dust ⌞of mortals⌟ goes back to the ground as it was before, and the breath of life goes back to God who gave it.
Stop trusting people. Their life is in their nostrils. How can they be worth anything?
Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.” After he said this, he died.
As far as our relationship to Christ Jesus is concerned, it doesn’t matter whether we are circumcised or not. But what matters is a faith that expresses itself through love.
My brothers and sisters, what good does it do if someone claims to have faith but doesn’t do any good things? Can this kind of faith save him?
In the same way, faith by itself is dead if it doesn’t cause you to do any good things.
You fool! Do you have to be shown that faith which does nothing is useless?
