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 irmĂŁ estiver necessitando de roupas e do alimento de cada dia
16 e um de vocês lhe disser: “Vá em paz, aqueça-se e alimente-se até satisfazer-se”, sem porém lhe dar nada, de que adianta isso?
17 Assim também a fé, por si só, se não for acompanhada de obras, está morta.
18 Mas alguém dirá: “Você tem fé; eu tenho obras”.Mostre-me a sua fé sem obras, e eu mostrarei a minha fé pelas obras.
19 Você crê que existe um só Deus? Muito bem! Até mesmo os demônios creem—e tremem!
