brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have
faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15
Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and
daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in

about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In

accompanied by action, is dead.

invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed
me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in
prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the
righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see
you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you
something to drink? 38 When did we see you a
stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and
clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison
and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply,
‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the
least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did
for me.’
