Faith Without Works Is Dead
14What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith ibut does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 jIf a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 kand 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? 17So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
