James 2:24-26

24So you see how God accepts someone as right with himself. That person must not only believe in God. He must also do good things to show that he has faith.

25It was the same with Rahab, long ago. She was a prostitute. She helped some of God's people who came to her house. She kept them safe from their enemies and she sent them away again by a different road. Because she did those good things, God accepted her as right with himself.

26If our bodies have no spirit, they are dead. In the same way, if our faith does not lead us to do good things, it is dead.
