“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto him, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled ; notwithstanding ye give him not these things which are needful to the body ; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”-James ii. 14-17.
“ All action of the gnostic may be called right action ....Such are they who are restrained by law and fear. For on finding a favourable opportunity they defraud [rise above] the law, by giving what is good the slip. But self-control ..... perfected through knowledge .....makes man Lord and Master of himself.” -Clement (A. N. Ch. Lib., Vol. XII. pages 369 and 455).
