James 2:17-20
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.
20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[a]?(G)

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.” (A)Show me your faith without [a]your works, (B)and I will show you my faith by [b]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 is [c]dead?
