James 2:14

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

In context

12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.

13 For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.

16 If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?
