What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?	If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,	And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit?
