“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. spirit: or, breath”
James 2:26 (KJV)
Commentary on James 2:26
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. As the body without the spirit (pneumatos, πνεύματος) is dead, so faith without works is dead. The analogy underscores inseparability: spirit animates body; works animate faith. Without action, faith is a corpse.Reformed spirituality insists on union of doctrine and life. James concludes the section with vivid imagery, sealing the argument that living faith necessarily acts.
