James' passage here can be easily misinterpreted to say that, we are justified by works and not by faith. But his usage of the word "justified" is referring to being justified, or being seen as righteous, by people - not justified by God. James is asking who should be considered righteous - one who says he believes in God? Or one who lives a life based on God? Justification before God is faith, apart from works, and justification before people is through godly works.
