Chapter 29 (Angel Falling Softly)
The expression "a peculiar people" comes from 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV):
"Faith without works is dead" is found in James 2:20-26 (KJV):
Along with 2 Nephi 25:23, this verse goes to the heart of the Mormon interpretation of the Calvinist/Arminian divide.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light[.]
"Faith without works is dead" is found in James 2:20-26 (KJV):
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? . . . For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Along with 2 Nephi 25:23, this verse goes to the heart of the Mormon interpretation of the Calvinist/Arminian divide.
