James 2:20-23
20But are you willingG2309 to recognizeG1097, 1you foolishG2756 fellowG444, that 2faithG4102 withoutG5565 worksG2041 is uselessG692?
213Was not AbrahamG11 our fatherG3962 justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 when he offeredG399 up IsaacG2464 his sonG5207 on the altarG2379?
22You seeG991 that 4faithG4102 was workingG4903 with his worksG2041, and 5as a resultG1537 of the 6worksG2041, faithG4102 was 7perfectedG5048;
23and the ScriptureG1124 was fulfilledG4137 which saysG3004, “8And AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, and it was reckonedG3049 to him as righteousnessG1343,” and he was calledG2564 9the friendG5384 of GodG2316.
