Faith and Action (James 2:14-20) Good News Translation

14  My brother, what is it for someone to say that he has faith if his actions do not prove it? Can that faith save him?
15  Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don't hve enough to eat.
16  What good is there in your saving to them, "God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!"---if you don't give them the necessities of life? 
17  So it is with faith; if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead.
18  But someone will say, "One person has faith, another has actions."  My answer is, "Show me how anyone can have faith by my actions."
19  Do you believe that there is only one God? Good! The demons also believe--and tremble with fear.
20  You fool! Do you want to be shown that faith without actions is useless?
