NASB | James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 2:24 You see that a man (believer) is justified by works and not by faith alone [that is, by acts of obedience a born-again believer reveals his faith]. |
Subject: Meaning "dead faith" doesn't save? |
Bible Note: Morant61, nice job. If I may be allowed (and with some fear that I may re-kindled a previous "debate") replacing "works" with "baptism" in your last statement produces the following: "In other words, our faith is demonstrated by our baptism." and "... - salvation produces baptism, baptism does not produce salvation." I hope I am not taking undo liberties with your post, but it works for me. Well done. |
