← James 2:18	James 2:19 (KJV)	James 2:20 →
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.	Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.	But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
