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.”

(F)You do well; (G)the demons also believe, and shudder. 20 But are you willing to acknowledge, (H)you foolish person, that (I)faith without works is useless?
