James 2:16 - Forerunner Commentary

James 2:16

Faith Without Works Is Dead

14 ^aWhat does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

15 ^aIf a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

16 and ^aone of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” ^aShow me your faith without your works, ^band I will show you my faith by² my works.
