James 2:14 in Context — James 2

12 Así hablad, y así obrad, como los que habéis de ser juzgados por la ley de libertad.

13 Porque juicio sin misericordia [será hecho] con aquel que no hiciere misericordia: y la misericordia se gloría contra el juicio.

14 Hermanos míos, ¿qué aprovechará si alguno dice que tiene fe, y no tiene obras? ¿Podrá la fe salvarle?

15 Y si el hermano ó la hermana están desnudos, y tienen necesidad del mantenimiento de cada día,

16 Y alguno de vosotros les dice: Id en paz, calentaos y hartaos; pero no les diereis las cosas que son necesarias para el cuerpo: ¿qué aprovechará?
