But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
All Commentaries on James 2:20 Go To James 2
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Holy Scripture should be interpreted in a way which is in complete agreement with those who understood it and not in a way which seems to be inconsistent to those who are least familiar with it. Paul said that a man is justified through faith without the works of the law, but not without those works of which James speaks. (On the Christian Life 13)
