Two New Testament passages are frequently cited in the debate on faith and works:

- Passage A: "For we are justified by faith apart from works of the law" (Romans 3:28).

- Passage B: "Faith without works is dead" (James 2:26).

A scholar argues that these passages can be reconciled only if a specific theological principle is accepted, namely that genuine faith inevitably results in good works. State the exact wording of this principle as the scholar would phrase it (provide the phrase in a few words).
