James 2:14-20

Faith and Works

14 ^aWhat use is it, ^bmy brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith, but he has no works? Can ^{▼▼Lit the}that faith save him? 15 ^dIf a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “ ^eGo in peace, ^{▼▼Or warm yourselves and fill yourselves}be warmed and be filled,” yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 In the same way, ^gfaith also, if it has no works, is ^{▼▼Or dead by its own standards}dead, being by itself.

18 ⁱBut someone ^{▼▼Lit will}may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your ^kfaith without the works, and I will ^lshow you my faith ^mby my works.” 19 You believe that ^{▼▼One early ms there is one God
,} ^oGod is one. ^pYou do well; ^qthe demons also believe, and shudder. 20 But are you willing to acknowledge, ^ryou foolish person, that ^sfaith without works is useless?
