The Letter of James, Chapter 2, Verses 14-17: "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have any works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you say to them, "Go in peace; may you be warm and eat your fill," and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself without good works is dead."
