📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

James describes a conflict between two brothers, one rich and one poor, who clash over the distribution of their father’s inheritance. The chapter emphasizes that faith without works is dead, and that true love is shown through actions that help the needy. It warns that the rich man’s heart is hardened and he will not be saved.
