14 My friends, what’s the good of someone saying they trust in God when they don’t do what’s good and right? Can such "trust" save them? 15 If a brother or sister doesn’t have clothes, or food for the day, 16 and you say to them, "Blessings on you! Stay warm and have a good meal!" and you don’t provide what they need to survive, what’s the good of that? 17 By itself even your trust-based faith in God is dead and worthless if you don’t actually do what’s good and right.
