James 2:16 in Context — James 2
14 Mes frères, que sert-il à quelqu’un de dire qu’il a la foi, s’il n’a pas les œuvres? La foi peut-elle le sauver?
15 Si un frère ou une sœur sont nus et manquent de la nourriture de chaque jour,
16 et que l’un d’entre vous leur dise: Allez en paix, chauffez-vous et vous rassasiez! Et que vous ne leur donniez pas ce qui est nécessaire au corps, à quoi cela sert-il?
17 Il en est ainsi de la foi: si elle n’a pas les œuvres, elle est morte en elle-même.
18 Mais quelqu’un dira: Toi, tu as la foi; et moi, j’ai les œuvres. Montre-moi ta foi sans les œuvres, et moi, je te montrerai la foi par mes œuvres.
