AUV(i)
21 Was not our forefather Abraham made right with God by deeds [of obedience] when he offered his son Isaac [as a sacrifice] on the Altar?
22 [Do you not] see that faith cooperated together with his deeds, and faith was made complete by [his] deeds?
23 So, the Scripture was fulfilled, which says [Gen. 15:6], “Abraham believed God and [so] God considered him righteous,” and he was called God’s friend.
24 [So], you see, it is by deeds that a person is made right with God, and not by faith alone.
25 And in the same way, was not the prostitute Rahab made right with God by [her] deeds when she welcomed [and protected] the messengers, and [then] sent them away by a different road?
