James 2:22–24 — GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
22 You see that Abraham’s faith and what he did worked together. His faith was shown to be genuine by what he did. 23 The Scripture passage came true.

James 2:22–24 — The Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

James 2:22–24 — New International Reader’s Version (1998) (NIrV)
22 So you see that what he believed and what he did were working together. What he did made his faith complete.
23 That is what Scripture means where it says, “Abraham believed God. God accepted Abraham because he believed. So his faith made him right with God.” And that’s not all. God called Abraham his friend. 24 So you see that a person is made right with God by what he does. It doesn’t happen only because of what he believes.
