James 2:22

2:22 You see that his faith was working together with his works and his faith was perfected by works.

James 2:24

James 5:9

5:9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, ²  so that you may not be judged. See, the judge stands before the gates! ³ 

[2:7]  ¹ tn Grk “that was invoked over you,” referring to their baptism in which they confessed their faith in Christ and were pronounced to be his own. To have the Lord’s name “named over them” is OT imagery for the Lord’s ownership of his people (cf. 2 Chr 7:14; Amos 9:12; Isa 63:19; Jer 14:9; 15:16; Dan 9:19; Acts 15:17).

[5:9]  ¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:2.

[5:9]  ² sn The term gates is used metaphorically here. The physical referent would be the entrances to the city, but the author uses the term to emphasize the imminence of the judge’s approach.
