James | Chapter | -- select chapter -- Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Sermons
"Justification by works," which James contends for, is justification before man, the justification of our profession of faith by a consistent life. Paul contends for the doctrine of "justification by faith;" but that is justification before God, a being regarded and accepted as just by virtue of the righteousness of Christ, which is received by faith.
