James 2:21-26

21Wasn’t Abraham our father proved righteous by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

22You see that faith worked together with his works, and by the works his faith was made complete.

23The Scripture was fulfilled that says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness”—and he was called God’s friend.

24You see that a man is proved righteous by works and not by faith alone.

25And likewise, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also proved righteous by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out another way?

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