justification_n but_o faith_n with_o work_n do_v conserve_v justification_n and_o so_o paul_n and_o james_n do_v full_a well_o agree_v and_o james_n doctrine_n will_v be_v a_o consequence_n from_o paul_n principle_n for_o because_o my_o faith_n only_o without_o work_n do_v create_v my_o justification_n and_o because_o evil_a work_n do_v destroy_v the_o state_n of_o it_o and_o do_v build_v again_o my_o state_n of_o sin_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o good_a work_n do_v continue_v my_o state_n of_o justification_n and_o keep_v it_o from_o ruin_n for_o in_o case_n i_o shall_v fall_v my_o faith_n alone_o can_v restore_v i_o but_o if_o i_o recover_v work_v my_o work_n of_o repentance_n must_v be_v the_o mean_n of_o my_o recovery_n 13.2_o 1_o cor._n 13.2_o and_o because_o as_o paul_n say_v though_o i_o have_v all_o faith_n so_o that_o i_o can_v remove_v mountain_n and_o have_v not_o charity_n i_o be_o nothing_o therefore_o as_o james_n teach_v faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a and_o last_o because_o as_o paul_n teach_v in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n therefore_o as_o james_n teach_v faith_n work_v with_o work_n be_v by_o work_n make_v perfect_a for_o the_o far_o clear_n of_o this_o seem_a contradiction_n of_o st._n paul_n and_o st._n james_n note_n that_o as_o faith_n swear_v by_o the_o vassal_n to_o his_o lord_n justify_v the_o vassal_n to_o his_o fee_n or_o benefice_n to_o have_v right_a thereto_o so_o the_o homage_n itself_o be_v the_o life_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o justify_v he_o to_o the_o same_o benefice_n that_o he_o may_v hold_v his_o right_n so_o obtain_v by_o his_o faith_n in_o like_a manner_n faith_n make_v to_o god_n justify_v his_o creature_n to_o the_o estate_n of_o blessedness_n to_o have_v right_a thereto_o and_o the_o homage_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o life_n of_o his_o faith_n justify_v he_o to_o the_o same_o estate_n that_o he_o may_v hold_v his_o right_n so_o obtain_v by_o his_o faith_n for_o faith_n without_o homage_n or_o work_n do_v not_o justify_v full_o nor_o homage_n or_o work_n without_o faith_n so_o true_a it_o be_v that_o faith_n though_o it_o do_v justify_v alone_o to_o have_v right_a yet_o work_v also_o do_v justify_v to_o hold_v it_o so_o both_o faith_n and_o work_n do_v justify_v complete_o
