James 2:14-18 (New American Standard)
Faith and Works
14 1What use is it, 2my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works ? Can athat faith save him? 15 3If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "4Go in peace, bbe warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 Even so 5faith, if it has no works, is cdead, being by itself. 18 6But someone dmay well say, "You have faith and I have works ; show me your 7faith without the works, and I will 8show you my faith 9by my works."New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
