James 2

Faith and Works

14 What use is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith, but he has no works? Can *2:14 Lit thethat faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, *2:16 Or warm yourselves and fill yourselvesbe 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, faith also, if it has no works, is *2:17 Or dead by its own standardsdead, being by itself.
