雅各書 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.

雅各書 2:17 In-Context

15 若 是 弟 兄 或 是 姐 妹 , 赤 身 露 體 , 又 缺 了 日 用 的 飲 食 ;
16 你 們 中 間 有 人 對 他 們 說 : 「 平 平 安 安 的 去 罷 ! 願 你 們 穿 得 暖 , 吃 得 飽 」 ; 卻 不 給 他 們 身 體 所 需 用 的 , 這 有 甚 麼 益 處 呢 ?
17 這 樣 , 信 心 若 沒 有 行 為 就 是 死 的 。
18 必 有 人 說 : 「 你 有 信 心 , 我 有 行 為 ; 你 將 你 沒 有 行 為 的 信 心 指 給 我 看 , 我 便 藉 著 我 的 行 為 , 將 我 的 信 心 指 給 你 看 。 」
19 你 信 神 只 有 一 位 , 你 信 的 不 錯 ; 鬼 魔 也 信 , 卻 是 戰 驚 。
