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.
18. Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.”
