James 2:13-17

Thomson(i) 13 for the sentence of judgment shall be without mercy for him who hath not exercised mercy, though mercy glorieth over a sentence of judgment. 14 What is the advantage, my brethren, though one should say he hath belief, when he hath not works? Can that belief save him? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister be naked, or in want of daily food, 16 and one of you should say to them, go in peace: be warmed, and be fed to the full; and you do not give them the things necessary for the body, is this any advantage? 17 Just so it is in respect to this belief, if it hath not works; being by itself it is dead.
