12. Speak and act like people who will be judged by the law that sets us free.

14. My friends, what good is it to say you have faith, when you don't do anything to show that you really do have faith? Can that kind of faith save you?
15. If you know someone who doesn't have any clothes or food,

17. Faith that doesn't lead us to do good deeds is all alone and dead!
