James 2:21-26

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

22 See you how faith worked with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

23 And the scripture was fulfilled which said, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

24 You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

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