‏ 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, 16and 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?
17In 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.”
19You believe that
One early ms there is one God
oGod is one. pYou do well; qthe demons also believe, and shudder.
20But are you willing to acknowledge, ryou foolish person, that sfaith without works is useless?
