  • Jas 2:14-26 : 14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothes and lacks daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, keep warm and be well fed,' but does not provide for their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, 'You have faith, and I have works.' Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith without works is useless? 21 Was not our father Abraham justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith was working together with his works, and by works his faith was made perfect. 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, 'Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,' and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 In the same way, was not Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another route? 26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

    14Now suppose this person has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed. Though he sees them, he does not do such things:

    15He does not eat at the mountain shrines or lift his eyes to the idols of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.

    16He does not oppress anyone, or require a pledge for a loan, or commit robbery. He gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.

    17He refrains from harming the poor, does not lend at interest or take a profit, and obeys my rules and walkthroughs my statutes. Such a person will not die for his father's sins; he will surely live.

    18But his father, because he practiced extortion, robbed his own people, and did what was not good among them—behold, he will die for his iniquity.

    19Yet you ask, ‘Why does the son not bear the guilt of his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and right, has carefully observed all my statutes, and has kept them, he will surely live.

    20The soul who sins will die. The son will not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them.

    21But if the wicked turn from all their sins that they have committed, keep all my statutes, and do what is just and right, they will live; they will not die.

    22None of the offenses they have committed will be remembered against them. Because of the righteousness they have practiced, they will live.

    24But if a righteous person turns away from their righteousness and commits sin, doing the same detestable things the wicked do, will they live? None of the righteous deeds they have done will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness they are guilty of and because of the sins they have committed, they will die.

    25Yet you say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' Hear me, O house of Israel: Is my way unjust? Is it not your ways that are unjust?

    26If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin, they will die for it; because of the sin they have committed, they will die.

    27But if a wicked person turns away from the wickedness they have committed and does what is just and right, they will save their life.

    28Because they consider all the offenses they have committed and turn away from them, they will surely live; they will not die.
