James 2:26
James 2:25-26 The Message (MSG)
The same with Rahab, the Jericho harlot. Wasn’t her action in hiding God’s spies and helping them escape—that seamless unity of believing and doing—what counted with God? The very moment you separate body and spirit, you end up with a corpse. Separate faith and works and you get the same thing: a corpse.
James 2:26 King James Version (KJV)
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
James 2:26 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
James 2:26 New Century Version (NCV)
Just as a person’s body that does not have a spirit is dead, so faith that does nothing is dead!
James 2:26 American Standard Version (ASV)
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
James 2:26 New International Version (NIV)
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
James 2:26 New King James Version (NKJV)
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
James 2:26 Amplified Bible (AMP)
For just as the [human] body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works [of obedience] is also dead.
James 2:26 New Living Translation (NLT)
Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works.
