New Testament

James 2:10-20 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

10. For whoever shall guard all the Torah, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

11. For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of Torah.

12. So speak and so do as those who are to be judged by a Torah of freedom.

13. For the judgment is without compassion to the one who has shown no compassion. And compassion boasts over judgment.

14. My brothers, what use is it for anyone to say he has belief but does not have works? This belief is unable to save him.

15. And if a brother or sister is naked and in need of daily food,

16. but one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” but you do not give them the bodily needs, what use is it?

17. So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead.

18. But someone might say, “You have belief, and I have works.” Show me your belief without your works, and I shall show you my belief by my works.

19. You believe that Elohim is one. You do well. The demons also believe – and shudder!

20. But do you wish to know, O foolish man, that the belief without the works is dead?
