James 2:14-18 (New International Version)

Faith and Deeds

14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?1 Can such faith save him? 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.2 16 If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?3 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.4 18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds,5 and I will show you my faith6 by what I do.7
