The concept of faith and work as enunciated by James means

A.

Practising religion without bridling the tongue

B.

Preaching the words of God

C.

Observing one's face in the mirror in readiness for good works

D.

Hearing and memorizing the word of God

E.

Hearing the word and remaining unstained in the world

Correct answer is C

The concept of faith and work as enunciated by James primarily means observing one's face in the mirror in readiness for good works. In James 1:22-25, James discusses the relationship between faith and action. It emphasises the importance of not only hearing or knowing the word of God but also putting it into action through good works. James encourages believers to be doers of the word, not just hearers, by using the analogy of looking at oneself in a mirror and then immediately forgetting what one looks like. This metaphor portrays the idea that faith should lead to tangible actions and righteousness, rather than mere passive observance or memorisation of religious teachings.
