15 (A)If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and (B)one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” (C)Show me your faith without [a]your works, (D)and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works (E)when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see (F)that faith was working together with his works, and by (G)works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, (H)“Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called (I)the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.(A) 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?(B) 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.(C)

18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”

Show me your faith without deeds,(D) and I will show you my faith(E) by my deeds.(F) 19 You believe that there is one God.(G) Good! Even the demons believe that(H)—and shudder.

20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[a]?(I) 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?(J) 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together,(K) and his faith was made complete by what he did.(L) 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”[b](M) and he was called God’s friend.(N) 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
