Context:

James 2:14: "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?"

V. 15: "If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,"

V. 16: "And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?"

V. 17: "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."

By reading the context we see that *LONE FAITH IS DEAD*. Faith must be coupled by works. If we have faith for something, we must work towards it, taking action physically to manifest our faith!
