James 2:12-17

12 So whatever you say or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law
that sets you free. 13 There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to
others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.
14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by
your ac*ons? Can that kind of faith save anyone? 15 Suppose you see a brother or sister
who has no food or clothing, 16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm
and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does
that do? 17 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is
dead and useless.
