σὺ πιστεύεις ὅτι εἷς ἐστιν ὁ θεός ; καλῶς ποιεῖς · καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια πιστεύουσιν καὶ φρίσσουσιν . θέλεις δὲ γνῶναι , ὦ ἄνθρωπε κενέ , ὅτι ἡ πίστις χωρὶς τῶν ἔργων ἀργή ἐστιν ; Ἀβραὰμ ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων ἐδικαιώθη , ἀνενέγκας Ἰσαὰκ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ; βλέπεις ὅτι ἡ πίστις συνήργει τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἔργων ἡ πίστις ἐτελειώθη , καὶ ἐπληρώθη ἡ γραφὴ ἡ λέγουσα · Ἐπίστευσεν δὲ Ἀβραὰμ τῷ θεῷ , καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην , καὶ φίλος θεοῦ ἐκλήθη . ὁρᾶτε ὅτι ἐξ ἔργων δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος καὶ οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως μόνον . ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ Ῥαὰβ ἡ πόρνη οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων ἐδικαιώθη , ὑποδεξαμένη τοὺς ἀγγέλους καὶ ἑτέρᾳ ὁδῷ ἐκβαλοῦσα ; ὥσπερ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα χωρὶς πνεύματος νεκρόν ἐστιν , οὕτως καὶ ἡ πίστις χωρὶς ἔργων νεκρά ἐστιν .
