James 2:18-20
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Faith Cannot Be Seen Apart From Works
18 But someone will say “You have faith, and I have works”. Show me your faith without[a] the works, and I will show you the faith by my works. 19 You believe that God is one[b]? You do well. Even the demons believe and shudder!
Faith Is Perfected By Works
20 But do you want to know[c], O empty[d] person, that faith without works is useless[e]?
