 Author of the [[Epistle of James|first Catholic Epistle]], his discourse is an exhortation to practical Christian living. His most famous teaching, and most controversial, is found in James 2:14-26{{cquote|What ''doth it'' profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ''ye'' warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what ''doth it'' profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness; and he was call the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and '''not by [[Sola fide|faith only]]'''. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent ''them'' out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. <br>—KJV text (<small>''boldface emphasis added''</small>)}}

 ''James, the Lord's brother, succeeds to the government of the Church, in conjunction with the apostles. He has been universally called the Just, from the days of the Lord down to the present time. For many bore the name of James; but this one was holy from his mother's womb. He drank no wine or other intoxicating liquor, nor did he eat flesh; no razor came upon his head; he did not anoint himself with oil, nor make use of the bath. He alone was permitted to enter the holy place: for he did not wear any woolen garment, but fine linen only. He alone, I say, was wont to go into the temple: and he used to be found kneeling on his knees, begging forgiveness for the people-so that the skin of his knees became horny like that of a camel's, by reason of his constantly bending the knee in adoration to God, and begging forgiveness for the people. Therefore, in consequence of his pre-eminent justice, he was called the Just, and Oblias, which signifies in Greek Defence of the People, and Justice, in accordance with what the prophets declare concerning him.'' <ref>Peter Kirby, [http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/hegesippus.html Hegesippus fragments in Eusebius]</ref>
