eSee 1 Thess. 1:3
James 2:19-26
19 aYou believe that God is one; you do well. Even bthe demons believe—and shudder! 20Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 cWas not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that dfaith was active along with his works, and faith was completed eby his works; 23and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, f“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a gfriend of God. 24You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25And in the same way was not also hRahab the prostitute justified by works iwhen she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
