But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? |
But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? |
But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? |
You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless (dead)? |
Are you willing to be shown [proof], you foolish (unproductive, spiritually deficient) fellow, that faith apart from [good] works is inactive and ineffective and worthless? |
But, do you desire to come to know, O senseless man! that the aforementioned faith [that exists] apart from works is unproductive? |
For, my dear short-sighted man, can’t you see far enough to realise that faith without the right actions is dead and useless? |
But, O senseless man, are you willing to learn that faith without good deeds is worthless? |
But 1161 wilt 2309 thou know, 1097 O 5599 vain 2756 man, 444 that 3754 faith 4102 without 5565 works 2041 is 2076 dead? 3498 |
