James 2:22-25

22You seeG991 that 1faithG4102 was workingG4903 with his worksG2041, and 2as a resultG1537 of the 3worksG2041, faithG4102 was 4perfectedG5048;

23and the ScriptureG1124 was fulfilledG4137 which saysG3004, “5And AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, and it was reckonedG3049 to him as righteousnessG1343,” and he was calledG2564 6the friendG5384 of GodG2316.

24You seeG3708 that a manG444 is justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 and not by faithG4102 aloneG3441.

25In the sameG3668 wayG3668, was not 7RahabG4460 the harlotG4204 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 8when she receivedG5264 the messengersG32 and sentG1544 them out by anotherG2087 wayG3668?
