Living Translation
and you say, "Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well"--but then you don't give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?

English Standard Version
and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?

Berean Study Bible
If one of you tells him, "Go in peace; stay warm and well fed," but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?********************

SEnding you a love letter from God. The above. God is love, and Corinthians says, do not add anything to his word. THere's a passage, in REv. that says, if any man add, or take away, that is it's unpardonable, he will be held accountable, going to check on that exact verse, anyways, this is the point.
Only do what the Lord has taught us, Don't start putting in the personal point of views about everything, it's going to dim your headlights, and your not going to see where your going. The Lord is the light to my path, and a lamp unto my feet, his words are the heavy duty lamps, and the one's that don't go out, the anointed Words. Go in peace, stay warm, and WELL FED., and dosn't care about his physical needs, is wrong how dwelleth the Love of God. Christ said, I was hungry, and naked, you fed me, you clothed me, what so ever you do to the least of these, the homeless, the ghetto, the smelly, and the outcasts, you've done it to me. First meet their needs, and let them feel the Love of God, for someone to say, the above, or throw a tract and bible at them, as their leaving their door, is to me, hey communist! Jesus said, "I never knew you, Oh but Lord we did this and that, Christ is all about Love and compassion, if you don't know that, YOU havn't meet Jesus. ​
 
Faith and Deeds

14 What good is it, my 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 peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[d]? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”[e]and he was called God’s friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
25In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
 
hm even Rahab the harlot was considered righteous, for what she did, she was protecting the spies, and let them go into a different direction. Love is the greatest, it over rides, all faults, and weakness, the word says, "even if you give a glass of water, you in no wise will lose your reward. It is one of the fruits of the HOly Spirit, compassion on another person, if someone could cultivate one fruit, they are capable to growing a whole garden, the 9.
Calling some one righteous is a deep bond, between that person and the heart of God. For the fruits are righteous, the fruits of the Spirit of God.
 
verse 24; powerful , a person is considered RIGHTEOUS by what they doit is saying this, God called Abraham righteous and considered him his friend. So this is saying, nothing about church, or anything, about your denomination. The bible is hard to digest sometimes, not stuff for a baby, but true, if you take faith, it does not equal Love, Corinthians 13 spells it out very nicely, and truthfully " If you have faith to move a mountain, and have not love your NOTHING< NADA. For if we have, faith, hope and love.
The greatest of these is love.
