Daily Reading for Personal Growth, 40 Days with God
Faith and Works
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can his faith[a] save him?
15 If a brother or sister is without clothes and lacks daily food 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you don’t give them what the body needs, what good is it?(A) 17 In the same way faith, if it doesn’t have works, is dead by itself.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.”[b] Show me your faith without works, and I will show you faith from my works.[c](B) 19 You believe that God is one; you do well. The demons also believe—and they shudder.(C)
20 Foolish man! Are you willing to learn that faith without works is useless?
