Reading through the book of James, what seems to connect and add context to James 2:14-19?
1:6 - must pray in faith to receive God's wisdom; idea of faith goes with works (prayer)
1:22 - don't just listen to the Word, but do it
1:26,27 - part of putting truth and faith into practice is to help those who are in true need
2:1-13 - how we treat others, especially the poor, demonstrates whether or not we have true faith
3:9,10 - how we speak about others shows if we have true faith; not just how we speak about God
3:13-17 - this demonstrates true wisdom, not in how much we know, but how we act. That is what shows where our loyalties lie and if we truly belong to God
4:17 - we must do the right thing, not just talk about it
5:1-6 - the non-believing rich are condemned because they have demonstrated they don't have true faith by how they treat others
