19 Tú crees que Dios es uno; bien haces: también los demonios creen, y tiemblan.
20 ¿Mas quieres saber, hombre vano, que la fe sin obras es muerta?
21 ¿No fué justificado por las obras Abraham nuestro padre, cuando ofreció á su hijo Isaac sobre el altar?
22 ¿No ves que la fe obró con sus obras, y que la fe fué perfecta por las obras?
23 Y fué cumplida la Escritura que dice: Abraham creyó á Dios, y le fué imputado á justicia, y fué llamado amigo de Dios.
