Deuteronomy 5:28-29

28“And the Lord heard your words, when you spoke to me. And the Lord said to me, ‘I have heard the words of this people, which they have spoken to you. aThey are right in all that they have spoken. 29 bOh that they had such a heart as this always, to fear me and to keep all my commandments, cthat it might go well with them and with their descendants
Or sons
forever!

36But they eflattered him with their mouths;
they flied to him with their tongues.
37Their gheart was not hsteadfast toward him;
they were not faithful to his covenant.

Isaiah 29:13

13 And the Lord said:
Because ithis people jdraw near with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,

James 2:14-16

Faith Without Works Is Dead

14What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith kbut does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 lIf a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 mand one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good
Or benefit
is that?

1 John 3:17-18

17But oif anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet pcloses his heart against him, qhow does God’s love abide in him? 18Little children, let us not rlove in word or talk but in deed and sin truth.
