The epistle also puts to rest the idea that one can become a Christian and yet continue living in sin, exhibiting no fruit of righteousness. Such a “faith,” James declares, is shared by the demons who “believe and tremble” (James 2:19).
Waraka pia unapuuzilia mbali dhana kwamba mtu anaweza kuwa Mkristo na bado kuendelea kuishi katika dhambi, bila kuonyesha matunda ya haki. "Imani," kama hiyo Yakobo anasema, ina ushirika na mapepo ambao "wanaamini na kutetemeka" (Yakobo 2:19).
