12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy that hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man sayeth he hath faith, and hath not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister is naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you sayeth to them, Depart in peace, be you warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
