11For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

12So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.

13For judgment [is] without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.

14What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?

15If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,

16and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?
