James 2:18 in Context — James 2

16 e algum de vós lhes disser: “Ide em paz, aquecei-vos e saciai-vos”; e não lhes derdes as coisas necessárias ao corpo, qual é o proveito [disso] ?

17 Assim também a fé, se não tiver obras, é morta em si mesma.

18 Mas alguém dirá: Tu tens fé e eu tenho obras. Mostra-me a tua fé pelas tuas obras, e eu, pelas minhas obras, te mostrarei a minha fé.

19 Tu crês que há um só Deus? Fazes bem; os demônios também creem, e estremecem.

20 Ó tolo, queres te certificar de que a fé sem as obras é morta?
