If anyone claims to love God but they hate a brother or sister, they’re a liar. If they don’t love their brother or sister, even though they’ve seen them, they can’t claim to love God, when they haven’t seen him.
Jesus spoke to the people again and said, “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in darkness. They will have the light of life.”
Then Jesus told them, “You’re going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness catches up with you. Whoever walks in the dark doesn’t know where they’re going.
But someone will say, “You have faith; I take action.” If you do have faith, the only way to show it is by the action it produces. But when I take action, that will show you the faith I have.
If one of you says to them, “I hope everything works out for you; stay warm and eat well,” but you don’t provide any practical help, what good is that?
