New International Version NIV

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 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,
15
Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.
16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?
16

17
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18 But someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works."
18
But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.
19
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20 But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?
20
You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless ?
