James 2:14-17 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          14What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
          15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
          16If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?
          17So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.
