Jas 2:16 εἴπῃ δέ τις αὐτοῖς ἐξ ὑμῶν, ὑπάγετε ἐν εἰρήνῃ, θερμαίνεσθε καὶ χορτάζεσθε, μὴ δῶτε δὲ αὐτοῖς τὰ ἐπιτήδεια τοῦ σώματος, τί τὸ ὄφελος;(Nestle-Aland)

Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.(nasb)
Jas 2:17 οὕτως καὶ ἡ πίστις, ἐὰν μὴ ἔχῃ ἔργα, νεκρά ἐστιν καθ᾽ ἑαυτήν.(Nestle-Aland)
Jas 2:17 Sic et fides, si non habeat opera, mortua est in semetipsa.(vulgate)
Jas 2:17 Also auch der Glaube, wenn er nicht Werke hat, ist er tot an ihm selber.(dhs)
Jam 2:17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.(nkjv)

Jas 2:19 σὺ πιστεύεις ὅτι εἷς ἐστιν ὁ θεός; καλῶς ποιεῖς· καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια πιστεύουσιν καὶ φρίσσουσιν.(Nestle-Aland)
Jas 2:19 Tu credis quoniam unus est Deus: bene facis: et dæmones credunt, et contremiscunt.(vulgate)
Jas 2:19 Du glaubst, daß ein einiger Gott ist? Du tust wohl daran; die Teufel glauben's auch und zittern.(dhs)
Jam 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble!(nkjv)

======= James 2:20 ============
Jas 2:20 But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?(nasb)

Jas 2:23 καὶ ἐπληρώθη ἡ γραφὴ ἡ λέγουσα, ἐπίστευσεν δὲ ἀβραὰμ τῶ θεῶ, καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῶ εἰς δικαιοσύνην, καὶ φίλος θεοῦ ἐκλήθη.(Nestle-Aland)
