James 2:21-26
Legacy Standard Bible
21 (A)Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that (B)faith was working with his works, and [a]as a result of the (C)works, faith was [b]perfected. 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “(D)And Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness,” and he was called (E)the friend of God. 24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way, was not (F)Rahab the harlot also justified by works (G)when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also (H)faith without works is dead.
