James 2:18-20

Faith Without Works Is Dead

¹⁸ But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith _r apart from your works, and I will show you my faith _s by my works. ¹⁹ _t You believe that God is one; you do well. Even _u the demons believe - and shudder! ²⁰ Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
