NASB | James 2:14 ¶ What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 2:14 ¶ What is the benefit, my fellow believers, if someone claims to have faith but has no [good] works [as evidence]? Can that [kind of] faith save him? [No, a mere claim of faith is not sufficient--genuine faith produces good works.] |

Bible Note: I agree completely with that assertion, Ed. The focus should always be on Jesus. If it is anywhere else we are guilty of idolatry. We should be working to lay up stores in heaven, not here on earth. Jesus said that if we strive for the recognition and blessings of man then we have reaped our reward already. |
