James 2:14-17
New Testament for Everyone
Faith and works
14 What use is it, my dear family, if someone says they have faith when they don’t have works? Can faith save such a person? 15 Supposing a brother or sister is without clothing, and is short even of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; be warm, be full!”—but doesn’t give them what their bodies need—what use is that? 17 In the same way, faith, all by itself and without works, is dead.

James 2:14-17
New International Version
Faith and Deeds
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds?(A) Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.(B) 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?(C) 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.(D)
