James 2:25-26

J.B. Phillips New Testament

^24-25 A man is justified before God by what he does as well as by what he believes. Rahab who was a prostitute and a foreigner has been quoted as an example of faith, yet surely it was her action that pleased God, when she welcomed Joshua’s reconnoitring party and got them safely back by a different route.

²⁶ Yes, faith without action is as dead as a body without a soul.
