Exegesis
A series of imperatives follows—Hypagete {Ὑπάγετε | Hypágete} “go,” then en eirēnē {ἐν εἰρήνῃ | en eirḗnē} “in peace,” with thermainesthe {θερμαίνεσθε | thermaínesthe} “be warmed” and chortazesthe {χορτάζεσθε | chortázesthe} “be filled”—creating a formulaic, pious-sounding dismissal akin to blessings of shalom {שָׁלוֹם} that, in this context, lack substance.
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?
