<p>2:26<i> For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead</i>-'Faith' is being likened to a person, i.e. the believer in the conversation of v.18-20 who thinks that his own faith alone will save him. &quot;The Spirit&quot; is often a reference to a spiritual mind, notably in Romans. Thus the body is equated with faith as the Spirit or spiritual attributes are with &quot;works&quot;.</p>
