12. So speak and act as those who will be judged according to a Torah that gives freedom.
13. For judgment is merciless to the one who does not show mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14. What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith, but does not have works? Can such faith save him?
15. If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food,

17. So also faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself.
