22 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.
23 Ye see then that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
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.
James 3 Intro: Of care in speech -- Tongue to be bridled -- The truly wise are pure, peaceable and gentle.
1 My brethren, strive not for the mastery, knowing that in so doing we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
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!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity; so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
