James 2:14-17

GNTA

NIV

14 My friends, what good is it for one of you to say that you have faith if your actions do not prove it? Can that faith save you?
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?
15 Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don't have enough to eat.
15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.
16 What good is there in your saying to them, "God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!" - if you don't give them the necessities of life?
16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?
17 So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead.
17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
