James 2:16 in Context — James 2

14 Meus irmãos, qual é o proveito se alguém disser que tem fé, mas não tiver obras? Acaso a fé pode salvá-lo?

15 E se um irmão ou irmã estiverem nus, e necessitarem do alimento diário,

16 e algum de vós lhes disser: “Ide em paz, aquecei-vos e saciai-vos”; e não lhes derdes as coisas necessárias ao corpo, qual é o proveito [disso] ?

17 Assim também a fé, se não tiver obras, é morta em si mesma.

18 Mas alguém dirá: Tu tens fé e eu tenho obras. Mostra-me a tua fé pelas tuas obras, e eu, pelas minhas obras, te mostrarei a minha fé.
