James / Question
Question source
James
James argues that claimed faith that does not act when someone is in need is "dead" (James 2:14–17). He summarizes again that "faith apart from works is dead" (James 2:26).
14What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can that faith save him?
15And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
16and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you didn`t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
