  James 2:14-26
  14) What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
  15) Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
  16) If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?
  17) In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
  18) But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.
  19) You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

• Daily Scripture:

  Romans 2:1-11
  1) You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
  2) Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
  3) So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment?
  4) Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?
  5) But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
  6) God "will give to each person according to what he has done."
  7) To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
  8) But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.
  9) There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;
  10) but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
  11) For God does not show favoritism.
  
  John 3:13-21
  13) No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.
  14) Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
  15) that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.
  16) "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
  17) For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
  18) Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
  19) This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
  20) Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
  21) But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
