James 2:14-20
Faith Without Works Is Dead
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith a but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 b If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 c and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good ▼

Or benefit
is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith e apart from your works, and I will show you my faith f by my works. 19 g You believe that God is one; you do well. Even h the demons believe—and shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
