“If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,”
James 2:15 (KJV)
Commentary on James 2:15
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, James illustrates with a brother or sister lacking clothing (gymnoi, γυμνοί) and daily food (leipomenoi trophēs, λειπόμενοι τροφῆς). Faith encounters tangible needs, not theoretical scenarios. The familial terms emphasize church responsibility toward one another.The scenario exposes hypocrisy: ignoring fellow believers' needs reveals faithlessness. Reformed ecclesiology highlights covenant community; neglecting family obligations contradicts gospel love.
