James 2:17-20
17InG3779 theG3779 sameG3779 wayG3779, 1faithG4102 alsoG2532, ifG1437 it hasG2192 noG3361 worksG2041, is 2deadG3498, being by itselfG1438.
183But someoneG5100 4may well sayG3004, “You haveG2192 faithG4102 and I haveG2192 worksG2041; showG1166 me your 5faithG4102 withoutG5565 the worksG2041, and I will 6showG1166 you my faithG4102 7by my worksG2041.” 19You believeG4100 that 89GodG2316 is oneG1520. 10You doG4160 wellG2573; 11the demonsG1140 alsoG2532 believeG4100, and shudderG5425. 20But are you willingG2309 to acknowledgeG1097, 12you foolishG2756 personG444, that 13faithG4102 withoutG5565 worksG2041 is uselessG692?
