James 2:14-24
14What doth it profitG3786, my brethren, if a man sayG3004 he hath faithG4102, but have not worksG2041? can that faithG4102 saveG4982 him? 15If a brotherG80 or sisterG79 be nakedG1131 and in lackG3007 of daily foodG5160, 16and oneG5100 of you sayG3004 unto them, GoG5217 in peaceG1515, be ye warmedG2328 and filledG5526; and yet ye giveG1325 them not the things needful to the bodyG4983; what doth it profitG3786? 17EvenG2532 so faithG4102, if it have not worksG2041, isG1510 deadG3498 in itself. 18Yea, a man will sayG3004, Thou hast faithG4102, and I have worksG2041: showG1166 me thy faithG4102 apartG5565 from thy worksG2041, and I by my worksG2041 will showG1166 thee my faithG4102. 19Thou believest that GodG2316 isG1510 oneG1520; thou doest wellG2573: the demonsG1140 alsoG2532 believeG4100, and shudder. 20But wilt thou knowG1097, O vainG2756 manG444, that faithG4102 apartG5565 from worksG2041 isG1510 barren? 21Was not AbrahamG11 our fatherG3962 justifiedG1344 by worksG2041, in that he offeredG399 up IsaacG2464 his sonG5207 upon the altarG2379? 22Thou seest that faithG4102 wrought with his worksG2041, and by worksG2041 was faithG4102 madeG5048 perfectG5048; 23and the scriptureG1124 was fulfilled which saith, And AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, and it was reckonedG3049 unto him for righteousnessG1343; and he was calledG2564 the friendG5384 of GodG2316. 24Ye seeG3708 that by worksG2041 a manG444 is justifiedG1344, and not onlyG3440 by faithG4102.
