Mistari Maarufu ya Biblia kutoka James (Jacob) 2

Shirikisha

So then faith that doesn’t involve action is phony.

For just as a human body without the spirit is a dead corpse, so faith without the expression of good works is dead!

My dear brothers and sisters, what good is it if someone claims to have faith but demonstrates no good works to prove it? How could this kind of faith save anyone?

You can believe all you want that there is one true God, that’s wonderful! But even the demons know this and tremble with fear before him, yet they’re unchanged—they remain demons.

But someone might object and say, “One person has faith and another person has works.” Go ahead then and prove to me that you have faith without works and I will show you faith by my works as proof that I believe.

and remember that judgment is merciless for the one who judges others without mercy. So by showing mercy, you take dominion over judgment!

So now it’s clear that a person is seen as righteous in God’s eyes not merely by faith alone, but by his works.

Can’t you see how his action cooperated with his faith and by his action faith found its full expression?
