Not to mention the book of James, which is largely preoccupied with this topic. Martin Luther didn't even consider it canonical because it went against his "by faith only" doctrine! Sola fide is largely a protestant notion.
Not that I can expect anyone to live consistently by a collection of scrolls that are inconsistent anyway. The Good Book requires that one cherrypick-- and so it accommodates Fred Phelps and MLK alike.
A list of Biblical passages FOR and AGAINST the sola fide doctrine are listed HERE. I won't bother to quote all the passages as both pros and cons of the doctrine are numerous.
