"But it isn’t just a matter of faith, but of faith and works. Each is necessary. For the demons also believe — you heard the apostle — and tremble ; but their believing doesn’t do them any good. Faith alone is not enough, unless works too are joined to it: Faith working through love , says the apostle."
