Job 31:19-22
New King James Version
19 If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
Or any poor man without covering;
20 If his [a]heart has not (A)blessed me,
And if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21 If I have raised my hand (B)against the fatherless,
When I saw I had help in the gate;
22 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder,
Let my arm be torn from the socket.

New International Version
19 if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,(A)
or the needy(B) without garments,
20 and their hearts did not bless me(C)
for warming them with the fleece(D) from my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,(E)
knowing that I had influence in court,(F)
22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
let it be broken off at the joint.(G)
James 2:14-17
New King James Version
Faith Without Works Is Dead(A)
14 (B)What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 (C)If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and (D)one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

James 2:14-17
New International Version
Faith and Deeds
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds?(A) Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.(B) 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?(C) 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.(D)
