雅各书2:14-17
14我的弟兄们,若有人说,自己有信心,却没有行为,有什么益处呢?这信心能救他吗?15若是弟兄,或是姐妹,赤身露体,又缺了日用的饮食,16你们中间有人对他们说,平平安安地去吧,愿你们穿得暖吃得饱。却不给他们身体所需用的,这有什么益处呢?17这样信心若没有行为就是死的。
14What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? 15Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, 16and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? 17So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
