\usepackage[afrikaans]{babel}

     "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he
      hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If
      a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily
      food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace,
      be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them
      not those things which are needful to the body; what
      doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works,
      is dead, being alone."          James 2:14-17
