Shew me thy faith, &c.— "You talk mightily of your faith, without giving any proof of its sincerity; and I, on the contrary, instead of taking up with high swelling words and professions of faith, have evangelical works of love and obedience to bear witness that my faith has its proper influence upon me." The reading which our version follows, is not only the reading of James 2:20 but is supported by sufficient authority, and is more agreeable to the context: therefore I prefer it to the marginal reading.
