James 2:26

New International Version

As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

See the chapter Copy

You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?

In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?

and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust.

Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.

Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem?

When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
