"My friends, what good is it to say you have faith, when you don't do anything to show that you really do have faith? Can that kind of faith save you? If you know someone who doesn't have any clothes or food, you shouldn't just say, 'I hope all goes well for you. I hope you will be warm and have plenty to eat.' What good is it to say this, unless you do something to help? Faith that doesn't lead us to do good deeds is all alone and dead! Suppose someone disagrees and says, 'It is possible to have faith without doing kind deeds.' I would answer, 'Prove that you have faith without doing kind deeds, and I will prove that I have faith by doing them.'"  James 2:14-18 (CEV)
