It seems to go back to the earliest Christian
community, given the admonition in James 1:14-17

"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say
you have faith but do not have works?  Can faith save
you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily
food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep
warm and eat your fill," and yet you do not supply
their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith
by itself, if it has no works, is dead."

Kerry's been quoting the first part of this passage on
the stump.
