James 2:12
Compare all
10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet astumble in one point, bhe is guilty of all.  
11 For He who said, a“Do not commit adultery,” also said, b“Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.  
12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by athe law of liberty.  
13 For ajudgment is without mercy to the one who has shown bno cmercy. dMercy triumphs over judgment.  

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.  
19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!
20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is1 dead?  
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works awhen he offered Isaac his son on the altar?  
22 Do you see athat faith was working together with his works, and by bworks faith was made perfect?  
23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, a“Abraham believed God, and it was1 accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called bthe friend of God.  
24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
