James 2:14-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?

¹⁵ And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food:

¹⁶ And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?

¹⁷ So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

¹⁸ But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith.
