James 2:14-26

Diaglott(i) 14 What the profit, brethren of me, if faith may say any one to have, works but not may have? not is able the faith to save him? 15 If but a brother or a sister naked ones should be, and wanting may be of the daily food, 16 may say and any one to them from of you: Go you away in peace, be you warmed and be you filled; not you may give but to them the things necessary of the body, what the profit? 17 Thus also faith, if not if may have works, dead it is by itself. 18 But will say some one: Thou faith hast, and I works have; show to me the faith of thee without the works of thee, and I will show to thee by the works of me the faith of me. 19 Thou believest, that the God one is; well thou doest; even the demons believe, and shudder. 20 Wishest thou but to know, O man vain, that the faith without the works dead is? 21 Abraham the father of us not by works was made righteous, having brought up Isaac the son of himself to the altar? 22 Seest thou, that the faith worked with the works of him, and by the works the faith was perfected? 23 And was fulfilled the writing that saying: Believed but Abraham the God, and it was counted to him for righteousness; and a friend of God he was called. 24 Do you see, that by works is made righteous a man, and not by faith alone? 25 In like manner and also Rahab the harlot not by works was justified, having received the messengers, and by another way having sent out? 26 As for the body without breath dead is, so also the faith without the works dead is.
