James 2:18 (KJV)
Commentary on James 2:18
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. James imagines an interlocutor: "You have faith, I have works. Show (deixon, δεῖξον) me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works." Faith is visible through actions; without works, it cannot be demonstrated.Reformed orthodoxy holds that justification is by faith alone, but faith is proven genuine by works. James challenges any attempt to separate the two experientially.
