Disciples’ Literal New Testament
15 If brother or sister are naked and lacking daily food 16 and one of you says to them “Go in peace; be warmed and filled”, but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what is the profit[a]? 17 In this manner also faith, if it does not have works, is dead by[b] itself.

New International Version
15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.(A) 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?(B) 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.(C)
