Santiago 2:26

Listen to Santiago 2:26
26 Pues como el cuerpo sin el espíritu está muerto, así también la fe sin obras está muerta.

Santiago 2:26 Meaning and Commentary

James 2:26

For as the body without the spirit is dead
This simile is made use of to illustrate what the apostle had asserted in ( James 2:17 James 2:20 ) that as a body, when the spirit or soul is departed from it, or the breath is gone out of it, is dead, and without motion, and useless; which the Jews F4 express in like manner, (xwr alb Pwg rgp) , "the body without the spirit", or "breath, is a carcass".

So faith without works is dead also:
a vain thing, useless and unprofitable, can neither justify, nor save, nor prove that a man is justified, or will be saved.

Santiago 2:26 In-Context

24 Como pueden ver, a una persona se la declara justa por las obras, y no solo por la fe.
25 De igual manera, ¿no fue declarada justa por las obras aun la prostituta Rajab, cuando hospedó a los espías y les ayudó a huir por otro camino?
26 Pues como el cuerpo sin el espíritu está muerto, así también la fe sin obras está muerta.
