2:18-19 James demonstrates the futility of believing that something is true without acting upon it. • Now someone may argue: James presents another diatribe (see study note on 1:13), in which he presents a hypothetical counterargument that one person may have the gift of faith while another person has the gift of works (see 1 Cor 12:7-9).
