14 My friends, what’s the good of someone saying they trust in God when they don’t do what’s good and right? Can such "trust" save them? 17 By itself even your trust-based faith in God is dead and worthless if you don’t actually do what’s good and right.
18 Someone may argue, "You have your trust in God; I have my good deeds." Well, show me your trust in God without good deeds, and I will show you my trust in God by my good deeds!
26 Just as the body is dead without the spirit, trust in God is dead if you don’t do what’s right.
