James 2:26

FaithServing others

24 As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.

25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?

As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
