"and if anyone of you were to say to them: “Go in peace, keep warm and nourished,” and yet not give them the things that are necessary for the body, of what benefit is this? "
— James 2:16, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?”
“and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit? ”
“and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you didn't give them the things the body needs, what good is it?”
“and one of you says to them,“Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it?”
“And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?”
“And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this?”
“And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?”
For judgment is without mercy toward him who has not shown mercy. But mercy exalts itself above judgment.
My brothers, what benefit is there if someone claims to have faith, but he does not have works? How would faith be able to save him?
So if a brother or sister is naked and daily in need of food,
and if anyone of you were to say to them: “Go in peace, keep warm and nourished,” and yet not give them the things that are necessary for the body, of what benefit is this?
Thus even faith, if it does not have works, is dead, in and of itself.
Now someone may say: “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works! But I will show you my faith by means of works.
You believe that there is one God. You do well. But the demons also believe, and they tremble greatly.
