James 2:21-26

21Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?

22You see that his faith was working together with his works and his faith was perfected by works.

23And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Now Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend.

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

25And similarly, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another way?

26For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
