JAM 2:15-16¹⁵If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶And 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 2:15‑16)

If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food . . . notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful . . . what doth it profit?

James 2:15, 16¹⁵If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶And 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 2:15‑16)

There’s lip service. And there’s doing something practically to help. If we wish our brother or sister well and that we hope they get what they need in the way of food and clothing but don’t help in any way, we are not serving the Lord at all. He wants us to be practical Christians, and if that means buying some food or clothes for poor Christians who have nothing, or giving them some of ours, then that’s the way we can serve our Master.
