for you surely know that what is genuine in your faith produces the patient mind that endures;

But he must ask in faith, without a doubt, for the man who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is whirled and swayed by the wind.

My brothers, stop trying to maintain your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious presence of God on earth, along with acts of partiality to certain ones.

Listen, my dearly loved brothers. Has not God chosen the poor of the world to be rich in faith and to possess the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

My brothers, what good is there in a man's saying that he has faith, if he has no good deeds to prove it? Such faith cannot save him, can it?

So faith by itself, if it has no deeds to back it up, is dead.

But someone may say, "You have faith, and I have good deeds. Show me your faith without any good deeds, but I will show you mine by my good deeds."

But, O senseless man, are you willing to learn that faith without good deeds is worthless?

You see that faith cooperated with his good deeds, and by his good deeds faith was made complete;

and so the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham put his faith in God, and it was credited to him for uprightness, and he was called God's friend."

You see that a man is shown to be upright by his good deeds, and not merely by his faith.

Just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without good deeds is dead.

and the prayer that is offered in faith will save the sick man; the Lord will raise him to health, and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
