James 2

11  For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

12  So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.

13  For judgment `is' without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.

14  What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?

15  If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,

16  And one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?

17  Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

18  Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from `thy' works, and I by my works will show thee `my' faith.

19  Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder.

20  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?
