TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

    24By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

    25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

    26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

    27By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

    28Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

    29By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

    30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

    31By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

    32And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

    19Thou 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.

    24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

    25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

    26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
