Deli

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

So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.

In the same way faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself.

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Dear friends, do you think you’ll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? For instance, you come upon an old friend dressed in rags and half-starved and say, “Good morning, friend! Be clothed in Christ! Be filled with the Holy Spirit!” and walk off without providing so much as a coat or a cup of soup—where does that get you? Isn’t it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense?

In the same way, faith also, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

So too, faith, if it does not have works [to back it up], is by itself dead [inoperative and ineffective].

So also faith, if it does not have works, is dead being by itself.
