Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. -- Faith worketh by love. -- He that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. -- We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. -- Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth. Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power. -- It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
