<p>2:16 <i>And one of you says to them: Go in peace, be warmed and filled And yet you do not give them the things needful to the body- what does it profit?</i>- 1 Cor.13:2 makes the point that it is quite possible to have great faith without having any true love for one's brother. Similarly, these people were saying in absolute faith, really believing it would be done by God, &quot;Go in peace, be warmed and filled&quot;. &ldquo;Go&rdquo; or &quot;Depart&quot; either implies they were told this by their employers to whom they came with their request, or perhaps that they were told to depart from the ecclesial meeting where such requests were considered. It would seem that their rich employers were these brethren who refused their requests. The mention of lack of food and clothing (&quot;naked&quot;) recalls Mt. 6:25, where the Lord assures His people that these needs will always be provided for. Yet the believers James writes of had to be concerned about these things. It may be that God provides for our needs by giving the means to the rich in the Ecclesia, but it still depends on their freewill decision to share what they have.</p>
