James 2

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

15 Ref If a brother or a sister is without clothing and in need of the day's food,

16 Ref And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this?

17 Ref Even so faith without works is dead.

18 Ref But a man may say, You have faith and I have works; let me see your faith without your works, and I will make my faith clear to you by my works.

15 Ref If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,

16 Ref and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?

17 Ref Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

18 Ref Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from `thy' works, and I by my works will show thee `my' faith.
