Scripture Memory for November (memorize se verses of Scripture this month) James What good is it, my brors, if someone says he has faith but does not have orks? Can that faith save him? 15 If a bror or sister is poorly clod and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to m, Go in peace, be armed and filled, ithout giving m things needed for body, hat good is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have orks, is dead.
