James 2:17

17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

17In the same way, faith also, if it has no works, is 2:17 Or dead by its own standardsdead, being by itself.

17Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

17So too, faith, if it does not have works [to back it up], is by itself dead [inoperative and ineffective].

17So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action,2:17 Literally if it does not have works is dead.

17It is the same with faith. If it doesn’t cause us to do something, it’s dead.
