Greek/English Interlinear with Strong’s Numbers
Jas. 2 - Greek/English/Strong’s Interlinear


King James Version
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
New King James Version
Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
New American Standard Bible
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
New International Version
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
The Amplified Bible
So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead).
Wuest’s Expanded Translation
thus also, the aforementioned faith, if it does not keep on having works, is dead in its very constituent elements.
Phillips’ Modern English
Yet that is exactly what a bare faith without a corresponding life is like – quite dead.
Williams’ Language of the People
So faith by itself, if it has no deeds to back it up, is dead.
KJV with Strong’s Numbers
Even 2532 so 3779 faith, 4102 if 1437 it hath 2192 not 3361 works, 2041 is 2076 dead, 3498 being 2596 alone. 1438
