2:14 | Testvéreim, milyen előnyökkel jár, ha valaki azt állítja, hogy van hite, de nincsenek munkái? Hogyan menthetné meg őt a hit? |
2:15 | Tehát ha egy testvér meztelenül van, és minden nap élelemre van szüksége, |
2:16 | és ha valaki közületek azt mondaná nekik: "Menj békével, melegen tartsa és táplálja,” és mégsem adja meg nekik a test számára szükséges dolgokat, mi haszna van ennek? |
2:17 | Így még a hit is, ha nincsenek munkái, halott, önmagában is. |
2:18 | Most valaki megmondhatja: „Van hited, és vannak munkáim." Mutasd meg hitedet tettek nélkül! De hitemet cselekedetekkel mutatom meg nektek. |
2:19 | You believe that there is one God. You do well. But the demons also believe, and they tremble greatly. |
2:20 | Így aztán, are you willing to understand, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? |
2:21 | Was not our father Abraham justified by means of works, by offering his son Isaac upon the altar? |
2:22 | Do you see that faith was cooperating with his works, and that by means of works faith was brought to fulfillment? |
2:23 | And so the Scripture was fulfilled which says: “Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.” And so he was called the friend of God. |
2:24 | Do you see that a man is justified by means of works, and not by faith alone? |
2:26 | For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. |
