James 2:16-22 New International Version

16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”

Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[a]? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.

James 2:16-22 New International Version
16&nbsp;If one of you says to them, &ldquo;Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,&rdquo; but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?&nbsp;17&nbsp;In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18&nbsp;But someone will say, &ldquo;You have faith; I have deeds.&rdquo;
Show me your faith without deeds,&nbsp;and I will show you my faith&nbsp;by my deeds.&nbsp;19&nbsp;You believe that there is one God.&nbsp;Good! Even the demons believe that&mdash;and shudder.
20&nbsp;You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%202%3A16-22&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-30314a">a</a>]?&nbsp;21&nbsp;Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?&nbsp;22&nbsp;You see that his faith and his actions were working together,&nbsp;and his faith was made complete by what he did.
