King James Bible: James, Chapter 2

Chapter 2
2:1	My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
2:2	For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
2:3	And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
2:4	Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
2:5	Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
2:6	But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
2:7	Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
2:8	If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
2:9	But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
2:10	For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
2:11	For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
2:12	So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
2:13	For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
2:14	What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
2:15	If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
2:16	And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
2:17	Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
2:18	Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
2:19	Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
2:20	But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
2:21	Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
2:22	Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
2:23	And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
2:24	Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
2:25	Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
2:26	For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Christianity is not Biblical, but Greek: James notes that even demons believe and tremble at the thought (James 2:19). The opposite can also be said. One can believe in evil but that does not mean that they are a worshipper of Satan or follower of evil ways.
