James 2:20-23
20But are you willing to recognize, 1you foolish fellow, that 2faith without works is useless?
213Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
22You see that 4faith was working with his works, and 5as a result of the 6works, faith was 7perfected;
23and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “8And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called 9the friend of God.
