James 3: Practical religion
JAMES 3. PRACTICAL RELIGION. (brushpoint, t.r.); McCahon Oct. 13 (brushpoint, b.l.)
as the body is dead when
there is no breath left
in it, so faith divorced
from deeds is lifeless
as a corpse.
Prove to me that this
faith you speak of
is real though not
accompanied by
deeds
"GOOD LUCK TO YOU,
KEEP YOURSELVES WARM, HAVE PLENTY TO EAT."
