James 2:21-26

Lamsa(i) 21 Was not our father Abraham justified by works, when he raised Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 You can see, how his faith helped his works, and how by works his faith was made perfect. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which said, Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 You see then, how a man by works becomes righteous, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot, justified by works, when she welcomed the spies, and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
