James 2:21-25

21Was not AbrahamG11 our fatherG3962 justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 when he had offeredG399 IsaacG2464 his sonG5207 upon the altarG2379?

22Thou seest that faithG4102 wrought with his worksG2041, and that by worksG2041 faithG4102 was perfectedG5048.

23And the scriptureG1124 was fulfilled which saysG3004, AbrahamG11 believedG4100 1GodG2316, and it was reckonedG3049 to him as righteousnessG1343, and he was calledG2564 FriendG5384 of 2GodG2316.

24Ye seeG3708 that a manG444 is justifiedG1344 on the principle of worksG2041, and not on the principle of faithG4102 onlyG3440.

25But was not in like manner alsoG2532 RahabG4460 the harlot justifiedG1344 on the principle of worksG2041, when she had received the messengersG32 and putG1544 [them] forth by another wayG3598?
