Exegesis
The direct object phrase ta epitēdeia tou sōmatos {τὰ ἐπιτήδεια τοῦ σώματος | tá epitḗdeia toû sṓmatos} specifies concrete “necessities of the body,” grounding the instruction in physical provision rather than abstract goodwill.
Root and etymology
epitēdeuōepsilon–pi–iota–tau–eta–delta–epsilon–upsilon–omega
“to pursue, practice as one’s concern”
In context — James 2:16
But if anyone among you says to them, “Go in peace , be warmed and be filled,” yet you do not give them the necessities for the body, what profit is there?
