James 2:21-24

211Was our father Abraham not justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?

22You see that 2faith was working with his works, and 3as a result of the 4works, faith was 5perfected;

23and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “6And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a 7friend of God.

24You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
