James the Less wrote his epistle around year 49 A.D., or perhaps a decade later. Interestingly, it states that faith alone is not sufficient :
"2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."
"2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"
"2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only."
"2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
