James 2:21-24

21Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

22Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected.

23And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed 1God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of 2God.

24Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only.
