James 4:17
_ _ The general principle illustrated by the particular example just discussed is here stated: knowledge without practice is imputed to a man as great and presumptuous sin. James reverts to the principle with which he started. Nothing more injures the soul than wasted impressions. Feelings exhaust themselves and evaporate, if not embodied in practice. As we will not act except we feel, so if we will not act out our feelings, we shall soon cease to feel. |
James 4:17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not — That knows what is right, and does not practise it. To him it is sin — This knowledge does not prevent, but increase, his condemnation. |
James 4:17
(9) Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.
(9) The conclusion of all the former treatise. The knowledge of the will of God does not only not at all profit, unless the life be answerable unto it, but also makes the sins far more grievous. |
Luke 12:47- 48 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not [ himself], neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [ stripes]. ... But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [ stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
John 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

Romans 1:20- 21 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: ... Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [ him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
