James 2:17

World English Bible (WEB)

Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

In context

15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,

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?

17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

18 Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
