Verse 18— Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith. Further illustrating and enforcing the foregoing thought, one may say you have faith— that is, faith only— and I have works. Now, let us proceed to prove to one another the presence in each of the faith we claim to pos­sess. I can show my faith by my works. This will be my method of proof. How are you going to proceed in order to assure me that you also have faith? What method will you adopt? What in this case is the necessary logical conclusion? The utter impossibility of producing any proof whatever of the presence of faith is apparent. No other proof can be or is possible in such a case than that of the fruits of faith. This, and this only, is the proof of which the case is susceptible.
