| 2:23 | & the scripture was fulfilled which faith: Abraha beleued God and it was reputed vnto him for rightewesnes: and he was called ye frende of God. |
| 2:24 | Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified, and not of faith only |
| 2:25 | Likewise also was not Raab the harlot iustified thorow workes, when she receaued the messengers, and sent them out another waye? |
| 2:26 | For as the body, with oute the sprete is deed, euen so faith wt out dedes is deed. |
