668
Faith Cannot Save

Would good is it my brothers and sisters,
if you say you have faith but do not have works?
Can faith save you?

If a brother or sister
is naked and lacks daily food,
and one of you says to them:

“Go in peace. Keep warm and eat your fill,”

And yet you do not supply
their bodily needs,
what is the good of that?

So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

Show me your faith
apart from your works,
and I by my works will
show you my faith.

James 2
