24 Likewise also Rahab the harlot was justified by works, when she had received the messengers and sent them out another way.
25 For, as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.

4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
