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

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

16and 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?

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

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

19Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder.

20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?
