Tiago 2:17 Meaning and Commentary

James 2:17

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
] It is like a lifeless carcass, a body without a soul, ( James 2:26 ) for as works, without faith, are dead works, so faith, without works, is a dead faith, and not like the lively hope and faith of regenerated persons: and indeed, such who have no other faith than this are dead in trespasses and sins; not that works are the life of faith, or that the life of faith lies in, and flows from works; but, as Dr. Ames observes F2, good works are second acts, necessarily flowing from the life of faith; to which may be added, and by these faith appears to be living, lively and active, or such who perform them appear to be true and living believers.

Tiago 2:17 In-Context

15 Se um irmĂŁo ou uma irmĂŁ estiverem nus e tiverem falta de mantimento cotidiano.
16 e algum de vós lhes disser: Ide em paz, aquentai-vos e fartai-vos; e não lhes derdes as coisas necessárias para o corpo, que proveito há nisso?
17 Assim também a fé, se não tiver obras, é morta em si mesma.
18 Mas dirá alguém: Tu tens fé, e eu tenho obras; mostra-me a tua fé sem as obras, e eu te mostrarei a minha fé pelas minhas obras.
19 Crês tu que Deus é um só? Fazes bem; os demônios também o crêem, e estremecem.
