Bible Read James 2

James 2:17

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.

In context

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?

17 So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith and 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. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
