17 Even so (A)faith, 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.

James 2:17-19
New International Version
17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.(A)
18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds,(B) and I will show you my faith(C) by my deeds.(D) 19 You believe that there is one God.(E) Good! Even the demons believe that(F)—and shudder.
