22 But be (A)doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, (B)the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, (C)he will be blessed in his doing.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith (A)apart from your works, and I will show you my faith (B)by my works. 19 (C)You believe that God is one; you do well. Even (D)the demons believe—and shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 (E)Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that (F)faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed (G)by his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, (H)“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a (I)friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also (J)Rahab the prostitute justified by works (K)when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
