If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacks daily food,

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

For if someone comes into your assembly wearing a gold ring and fine clothing, and a poor person enters in filthy clothes,

You ought to say instead, “If the Lord is willing, then we will live and do this or that.”

My brothers and sisters, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith save him?

Adulterers, do you not know that friendship with the world means hostility toward God? So whoever decides to be the world’s friend makes himself God’s enemy.
