270. (6) Faith without charity is not possible. --Faith without charity is no religion. --Faith without charity falsifies the Word. --Faith without charity blinds all the understanding of truth. --It is the end of the church when there is not the faith of charity. --Every church ends in Babylon, and in faith separate. --Faith separate from charity is predicted in the Apocalypse, and is meant by the dragon and his two beasts. --Faith without charity is meant by the he-goat in Daniel and in Matthew. --Faith without charity is meant by Philistea. --Faith without charity is meant by Cain. --Faith without charity is meant by Reuben. --Faith from charity, also faith without charity, is meant by Peter. --Charity is meant by James, and the works of charity by John.
