James 2:22-25

22You see that 1faith was working with his works, and 2as a result of the 3works, faith was 4perfected;

23and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “5And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a 6friend of God.

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

25In the same way, was 7Rahab the prostitute not justified by works also 8when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
