“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?”
James 2:16 (KJV)
Commentary on James 2:16
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? Saying, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled" (thermainesthe, θερμαίνεσθε; chortazesthe, χορτάζεσθε) without supplying necessities is empty. Words devoid of deeds betray hypocrisy. Blessings without provision are worthless.James critiques superficial piety that cloaks indifference. Reformed believers emphasize that Word and deed must cohere—compassionate speech must be accompanied by sacrificial action.
