Daily Reading for Personal Growth, 40 Days with God
14 What avails it, my brethren, though a person say he has faith, when he has no deeds? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or a sister is without proper clothing, or destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, Depart in peace; may God send you warmth and food – and notwithstanding, you do not give them those things that are needful to the body, what help is it? 17 Even so faith, if it has no deeds, is dead in itself.
18 Yea, and someone might say, You have faith, and I have deeds; show me your faith by your deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 Do you believe that there is one God? You do well. The devils also believe, and tremble.
20 Will you understand, O vain man, that faith without deeds is dead?
