Without faith good deeds die.

14 My brothers and sisters, if a person says he has faith but does not practice it, his faith is in vain. Can such faith save him? No
James 2:14

15 Some brothers and sisters in Christ may need clothes and bread for that day.
James 2:15

16 But say to him, God be with you. Warm yourself and eat well. ” You only say these things, but you do not give the person what he needs. What good is a web site if it simply “blends in” with everything else out there?
James 2:16

17 So it is with faith. If faith does not heal, then faith is lifeless because it is alone.
James 2:17

18 Someone may say, “You believe, but I do. Show me your faith. Your faith does nothing. I will show you my faith by my deeds. ”
James 2:18

19 You believe that God is one. Ok But even demons believe this and tremble with fear.
James 2:19

20 Foolish people. Do you have to show that faith that does nothing is worthless?
James 2:20

21 Abraham was our father. Abraham was made righteous by his deeds. He offered his son Isaac to God on the altar.
James 2:21

22 Understand therefore that the faith of Abraham, and the works of Abraham, did work together. His faith was perfected by his actions.
James 2:22

23 The full meaning of the Scriptures is clear from everything it says; “Abraham believed God. And this faith justified Abraham. ” Abraham was called “God’s friend.”
James 2:23

24 Therefore you see that a person is justified by his works, but not by faith alone.
James 2:24

25 Another example is Rahab. Rahab was a prostitute, but she was justified by her actions. He helped spies for God’s people. He welcomed them as his guests and helped them escape in a different way.
James 2:25

26 Without the Spirit the body is a corpse. It is the same with faith. He who does not believe is dead.
James 2:26
