12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by athe law of liberty.
13 For ajudgment is without mercy to the one who has shown bno cmercy. dMercy triumphs over judgment.
Faith Without Works Is Dead
14 aWhat does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?
15 aIf a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
16 and aone of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” aShow me your faith without your works, band I will show you my faith by2 my works.
