2:12So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
2:13For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
2:14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
2:15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
2:16And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

2:22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
