^3 (A)If I give away all I have, and ^(B)if I deliver up my body to be burned,^[a] but have not love, I gain nothing.

^13 (A)Greater love has no one than this, ^(B)that someone lay down his life for his friends.

Faith Without Works Is Dead

¹⁴ What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith ^(A)but does not have works? Can that faith save him? ^15 (B)If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, ^16 (C)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^[a] is that? ¹⁷ So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

^5 (A)They do all their deeds ^(B)to be seen by others. For they make ^(C)their phylacteries broad and ^(D)their fringes long,

^22 (A)On that day ^(B)many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not ^(C)prophesy in your name, and cast out demons ^(D)in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ ^23 (E)And then will I declare to them, ‘I ^(F)never knew you; ^(G)depart from me, ^(H)you workers of lawlessness.’

Giving to the Needy

6 “Beware of ^(A)practicing your righteousness before other people in order ^(B)to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

^2 (C)“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may ^(D)be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have ^(E)received their reward. ³ But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, ⁴ so that your giving may be in secret. ^(F)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

^26 (A)Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

⁹ Do not be ^(A)led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, ^(B)not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.

⁸ for while ^(A)bodily training is of some value, godliness ^(B)is of value in every way, as ^(C)it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
