James

²¹Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? ²²Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect; ²³and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God. ²⁴Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith. ²⁵And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? ²⁶For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
