<p>2:24 <i>You see that by works a man is justified and not only by faith</i>- Romans 4 stresses that works do <i>not </i>justify a man, but rather a true faith that is expressed in actions. &quot;Faith only&quot; must therefore refer to a holding of true doctrine and a hope that God provides physical help, as characterized by the healed demoniacs (2:19) and exemplified by those who asked in prayer for things to &quot;consume upon your lusts&quot; (4:2,3). There is a definite connection between &quot;faith&quot; as a spiritual quality and &quot;the faith&quot; as the set of doctrines which the believer accepts. It is these which produce the attribute of faith. The &quot;works&quot; James is referring to are 'faith works'- i.e. works that come as a natural corollary to faith and which include spiritual attributes like belief in God's word.</p>
