James 2:17-20

New American Standard Bible

¹⁷ In the same way, ^(A)faith also, if it has no works, is ^[a]dead, being by itself.

^18 (B)But someone ^[b]may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your ^(C)faith without the works, and I will ^(D)show you my faith ^(E)by my works.” ¹⁹ You believe that ^[c](F)God is one. ^(G)You do well; ^(H)the demons also believe, and shudder. ²⁰ But are you willing to acknowledge, ^(I)you foolish person, that ^(J)faith without works is useless?
