American Standard Version

James 2:15-20 American Standard Version (ASV)

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: show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I by my works will show thee my faith.

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

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