James 2:21–24

21 Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works in offering Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active together with his works, and by works, faith was made complete,p 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,A,q and he was called God’s friend.r 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
