James 1:19 & 22 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry…But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
James 2:14-17 What good is it…if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions?…Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
