Napakalalim ng ugat ng Kautusan ni Moises at ang sistema nito ng mga gawa para sa mga Kristiyanong Hudyo na sinulatan ni Santiago kaya gumugol siya ng mahabang panahon sa pagpapaliwanag sa mahirap na katotohanan na walang sinuman ang mapapawalang sala sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod sa Kautusan (Galacia 2:16).
