How does James 2:14-19 fit into context of James 1,2?
This passage is about dead faith and how if you have true faith, it will be demonstrated by works. In a way, that is the message of James. James 1 says that you must not just hear the Word of God, but DO it. Also, it is about reaching out to those in true need, just like the example in 2:15,16. The rest of James 2 is all about examples of those who lived out true faith.
In my own words - James 2:14-19
It is worthless to say you have faith but not back it up with works. For example, if someone in need of food and clothing comes to you and you send them away without meeting their real need, that is useless, worthless. If you don't live out your faith with works, your faith is dead. The demons have the kind of faith that just believes in a God but doesn't act in loving and living for God.
