James 2:13-18 English Revised Version (ERV)

13. For judgment is without mercy to him that hath shewed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.

14. What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?

15. If a brother or sister be naked, and in lack of daily food,

16. and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?

17. Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

18. Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith apart from thy works, and I by my works will shew thee my faith.
