{Ye see} (hor(8374)e). Present indicative active of hora(935c).
Now he uses the plural again as in 2:14 . {Is justified}
(dikaioutai). Present passive indicative of dikaio(935c), here not
"is made righteous," but "is shown to be righteous." James is
discussing the proof of faith, not the initial act of being set
right with God (Paul's idea in Ro 4:1-10 ). {And not only by
faith} (kai ouk ek piste(9373) monon). This phrase clears up the
meaning of James. Faith (live faith) is what we must all have
( 2:18 ), only it must shew itself also in deeds as Abraham's
did.
