English Standard Version

As you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.

Matthew 25:45

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

James 2:14

Matthew 25 (English Standard Version)

42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’
44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’
45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’
46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

James 2 (English Standard Version)

11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.
13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,
16 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?
17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Whatever you didn't do for one of these of least importance you didn't do for me.

Matthew 25:45

My friends, what's the good of someone saying they trust in God when they don't do what's good and right? Can such “trust” save them?

James 2:14

Matthew 25 (Free Bible Version)

42 For I was hungry and you didn't give me anything to eat. I was thirsty and you didn't give me a drink.
43 I was a stranger and you didn't invite me in. I was naked and you didn't clothe me. I was sick and in prison and you didn't visit me.’
44 Then they will also answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't look after you?’
45 Then he will tell them, ‘I tell you the truth: whatever you didn't do for one of these of least importance you didn't do for me.’
46 They will go away into eternal condemnation, but those who are good will enter eternal life.”

James 2 (Free Bible Version)

11 God told you not to commit adultery, and he also told you not to kill. So if you don't commit adultery, but you do kill, you've become a law-breaker.
12 You should speak and act as people who will be judged by the law of freedom.
13 Anyone who doesn't show mercy will be judged without mercy. Yet mercy wins out over judgment!
14 My friends, what's the good of someone saying they trust in God when they don't do what's good and right? Can such “trust” save them?
15 If a brother or sister doesn't have clothes, or food for the day,
16 and you say to them, “Blessings on you! Stay warm and have a good meal!” and you don't provide what they need to survive, what's the good of that?
17 By itself even your trust-based faith in God is dead and worthless if you don't actually do what's good and right.
