James 2:23-26 The scripture was fulfilled which says: »Abraham believed Jehovah and it was reckoned (imputed) (considered) (credited) to him for righteousness.« He was called »Jehovah’s friend« (Genesis 15:6) ( Isaiah 41:8).

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ The scripture was fulfilled which says: »Abraham believed Jehovah and it was reckoned (imputed) (considered) (credited) to him for righteousness.« He was called »Jehovah’s friend« (Genesis 15:6) ( Isaiah 41:8). ²⁴ You see that a man is justified (declared and pronounced righteous) by works, and not by faith alone. ²⁵ Rahab the harlot was justified by her works. When she received the messengers she sent them out another way. ²⁶ Just as the body without the spirit is dead; even so faith without works is dead.
