15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,Select James 2:15
16And 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?Select James 2:16
17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.Select James 2:17
18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.Select James 2:18
