James 2:12-18

12So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.

13For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

14What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

15If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,

16and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?

17So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
