Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

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).

Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

In the same way, faith is dead when it doesn’t result in faithful activity.

Thus even faith, if it does not have works, is dead, in and of itself.
