James 2:21-25

211Was our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 not justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 when he offeredG399 upG399 his sonG5207 IsaacG2464 on the altarG2379?

22You seeG991 that 2faithG4102 was workingG4903 withG4903 his worksG2041, and 3as a resultG1537 of the 4worksG2041, faithG4102 was 5perfectedG5048;

23and the ScriptureG1124 was fulfilledG4137 which saysG3004, “6And AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, and it was creditedG3049 to him as righteousnessG1343,” and he was calledG2564 a 7friendG5384 of GodG2316.

24You seeG3708 that a personG444 is justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 and not by faithG4102 aloneG3441.

25In the sameG3668 wayG3668, was 8RahabG4460 the prostituteG4204 not justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 alsoG2532 9when she receivedG5264 the messengersG32 and sentG1544 them outG1544 by anotherG2087 wayG3598?
