JST James 2:19 vs. the Vindication Understanding of James 2

 Jas 2:19:

 

KJV

NT Manuscript, Folio 4, p. 142

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Thou beleivest there is one God, thou doest well, the Devils also beleive and tremble, thou hast made thyself like unto them, not being justified.

 


The JST adds "being justified." It does not make sense if "justified" is that of "vindication," further showing that LDS theology is antithetical to the (nonsense) "vindication" understanding of James chapter 2. For more, see, for e.g.
