Perhaps each of you will say to himself: / have believed, I shall be saved. He speaks what is true if to faith he joins good works. That is indeed true faith which does not deny in work what it professes in word. For this Paul says of certain false faithful: They profess that they know God; but in their works they deny Him (Titus 1:16). For John also says: He who says that he knows God, and keeps not His Commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him (I John 2:4). – St. Gregory the Dialogist of Rome (f604) #copticorthodox #christianity #faith #faithwithoutworksisdead
