What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, βGo in peace; keep warm and well fed,β but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

A black cat is lying on an open notebook, front paws curled into his chest. A green string bookmark is in the centre of the pages.
