Chapter 25 — Part III — On Love (Introduction)
Section 482. Q. Is not faith alone enough for a Christian, without love and good works ? A. No; for faith without love and good works is inactive and dead, and so can not lead to eternal life. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death. 1 John iii. 14. What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James ii. 14, 26.
