James 2:14–20 · BSB
2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
2:15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
2:16 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?
2:17 So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.
2:18 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.
2:19 You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
2:20 O foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is worthless?
