James 2:14

World English Bible (WEB)

What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?

In context

12 So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.

13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?

16 and one of you tells them, “Go in peace. Be warmed and filled;” yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
