18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.”[a] Show me your faith without works, and I will show you faith by my works.(A) 19 You believe that God is one. Good! Even the demons believe—and they shudder.(B)
20 Senseless person! Are you willing to learn that faith without works is useless?

James 2:18-20
New Living Translation
18 Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.”
19 You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God.[a] Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. 20 How foolish! Can’t you see that faith without good deeds is useless?
