James 2:14

“What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?”

Verse in context — James 2

So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.

For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?

And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,

and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you didn't give them the things the body needs, what good is it?

Practical faith lived out through works and wisdom.
