You foolish person! Do you want proof that faith without good deeds is useless?

虚浮的人哪，你愿意知道没有行为的信心是死的吗？

你这虚浮的人哪，你愿意知道没有行为的信心是没有用的吗？

虛誕之人歟、豈不知行外之信乃死乎、

虛誕之人乎、爾當知信而不行、其信歸於無有、

無知者乎、爾欲知無行之信乃死乎、

嗚呼、爾亦淺人也已！爾亦知無行之信、乃為空虛無實乎？

You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?

Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?

How foolish! Can’t you see that faith without good deeds is useless?

Senseless person! Are you willing to learn that faith without works is useless?

But are you willing to acknowledge, you foolish person, that faith without works is useless?

But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?

Foolish man! Are you willing to learn that faith without works is useless?

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

But would you like evidence, you empty fellow, that faith without works is useless?

But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

Those who farm their land will have plenty of food. But those who chase dreams have no sense.

They knew God. But they didn’t honor him as God. They didn’t thank him. Their thinking became worthless. Their foolish hearts became dark.

A person’s body without their spirit is dead. In the same way, faith without good deeds is dead.

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

The Lord says,“ What did your people of long ago find wrong with me? Why did they wander so far away from me? They worshiped worthless statues of gods. Then they themselves became worthless.

Some have turned from these teachings. They would rather talk about things that have no meaning.

He certainly knows when people tell lies. When he sees evil, he pays careful attention to it.A wild donkey’s colt can’t be born a human being. And it’s just as impossible that a person without sense can become wise.

Many people refuse to obey God. All they do is talk about things that mean nothing. They try to fool others. No one does these things more than the circumcision group.

Circumcision and uncircumcision aren’t worth anything to those who believe in Christ Jesus. The only thing that really counts is faith that shows itself through love.

Make sure no one controls you. They will try to control you by using false reasoning that has no meaning. Their ideas depend on human teachings. They also depend on the basic spiritual powers of this world. They don’t depend on Christ.

You who aren’t wise, pay attention. You foolish people, when will you become wise?Does he who made the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?Does he who corrects nations not punish? Does he who teaches human beings not know anything?The Lord knows what people think. He knows that their thoughts don’t amount to anything.

Suppose people think their beliefs and how they live are both right. But they don’t control what they say. Then they are fooling themselves. Their beliefs and way of life are not worth anything at all.

If anyone thinks they are somebody when they are nobody, they are fooling themselves.

But someone will ask,“ How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have?”How foolish! What you plant doesn’t come to life unless it dies.
