Paragraph 11.2

Faith thus receiving and resting on Christ and his Righteousness, is the alone Instrument of Justification; Yet it is not alone in the Person justified, but is ever accompanied with all other saving Graces, and is no dead Faith,^a but worketh by Love.^b

2. b. Galatians 5:6; James 2:17, 22, 26

   Galatians 5:6

   ^5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

   ^5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.

   James 2:17; James 2:22; James 2:26

   ^2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. ^2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? ^2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

   ^2:17 So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead. ^2:22 You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did. ^2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
