James 2:14-26
Recognize that God, out of His riches, gave to you in your poverty and so do the same for others. Don’t show that you have no understanding of the Good News by not living it out, where you can, as you can, with the needs and situations God puts right in front of you.

Acts 21:15-36 - Grace Versus Law
After a long journey Paul returns to Jerusalem to meet with the believers there and confront the accusations from his opponents who accused him of teaching Gentile believers to turn their backs on the law of Moses. Both Paul and the leaders of the church in Jerusalem understood and believed that a person can only be saved through faith in Jesus Christ and not through keeping the regulations in the law and that Christ did not come to get rid of the law but to fulfill it. In order to be patient with those who did not yet understand this and who were weak in their faith they decided that Paul should present himself before the temple and go through the purification ritual to demonstrate that he still respected the law. While at the temple, though, a great crowd of people was aroused against Paul and he was arrested by the authorities. In the same way we should be willing to inconvenience ourselves in order to not unnecessarily cause those that we want to teach about Jesus to stumble, but we also need to be on guard against the creeping lie that says that we are accepted in God’s sight by our own good works and cling to the truth that we are made right with God only through trusting Jesus and his good work of sacrifice in our place on the cross.
