James 2:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 [a]But wilt thou understand, O thou vain man, that the faith which is without works, is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father [b]justified through works, (A)when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou not that the faith [c]wrought with his works? and through the works was the faith made [d]perfect.

- James 2:20 The third reason from the example of Abraham, who no doubt had a true faith: but he in offering his son, showed himself to have that faith which was not void of works, and therefore he received a true testimony when it was said, that faith was imputed to him for righteousness.
- James 2:21 Was he not by his works known and found to be justified? for he speaketh not here of the causes of justification, but by what effects we may know that a man is justified.
- James 2:22 Was effectual and fruitful with good works.
- James 2:22 That the faith was declared to be a true faith, and that by works.
