James 2:18-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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 from my works.[b](A) 19 You believe that God is one; you do well. The demons also believe—and they shudder.(B)
20 Foolish man! Are you willing to learn that faith without works is useless?
