God Calls Each of Us
  
What good is it, my brothers and sisters,
If someone says he has faith, but does not have works?
  Can that faith save him?
If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it?
  So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
  Indeed, someone might say, “You have faith and I have works.”
Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works.      
                                                                                                                     — cf James 2:14-18 

La Fe Se Demuestra con
Hermanos, si uno dice que tiene fe, pero no viene con obras, ¿de qué le sirve?
¿Acaso lo salvará esa fe?
Si un hermano o una hermana no tiene con que vestirse ni qué comer,
y ustedes les dicen: “Que les vaya bien, caliéntense y aliméntense”,
Sin darles lo necesario para el cuerpo, ¿de qué les sirve eso?
Lo mismo ocurre con la fe: si no produce obras, muere solita.
Y seria fácil decirle a uno: “Tú tienes fe, pero yo tengo obras.
Muéstrame tu fe sin obras, y yo te mostraré mi fe a  través de las obras.                          
— (Santiago 14-18)
