James 2:18 in Context — James 2
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.
19 Tu crois qu’il y a un seul Dieu, tu fais bien; les démons le croient aussi, et ils tremblent.
20 Veux-tu savoir, ô homme vain, que la foi sans les œuvres est inutile?
