📖 Read James 2

◀ Jam 2:16 Jam 2:18 ▶

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

Context

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

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

16and 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?

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

18Yes, 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.

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

20But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
