KJV:
"Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit:
for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."
"For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God
which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men,
but as it is in truth, the word of God,
which also effectively works in you who believe."
"But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held;
that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.”
"But if ye be led of of the Spirit, ye are not under the law."
"22He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the
deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
23But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it;
which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 24Another
parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26But when the blade was
sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27So the servants of the householder came and said unto
him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?"
"43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44Of a truth I say
unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46The lord of that servant will come
in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his
portion with the unbelievers. 47And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will,
shall be beaten with many stripes. 48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes.
For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed
much, of him they will ask the more. 49I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
James 2:18
“Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works,
and I will shew thee my faith by my works.”
"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." 20But wilt thou know, O vain man,
that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered
Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And 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."
Ephesians 2:10
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should
walk in them.”
James 2:14 - 2:18
"4 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things
which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?"
