God’s Word Translation
James 2:21-24
21Didn’t our ancestor Abraham receive God’s approval as a result of what he did when he offered his son Isaac as a sacrifice on the altar?
22You see that Abraham’s faith and what he did worked together. His faith was shown to be genuine by what he did.
23The Scripture passage came true. It says, “Abraham believed God, and that faith was regarded as the basis of Abraham’s approval by God.” So Abraham was called God’s friend.
24You see that a person receives God’s approval because of what he does, not only because of what he believes.
