James 2:14-17

14My Christian brothers, you say that you believe in God. Then you must show this in the things that you do. If not, your faith will not help you. It will not save you.

15For example, maybe a believer does not have enough clothes to wear or enough food to eat.

16Then one of you may say to them, ‘Go with God's peace! I pray that you will be warm. I pray that you will eat well.’ But if you do not give to them what they need, that does not help them at all.

17How we believe in God is also like that. If our faith does not lead us to do good things, then it is not worth anything. It is dead!
