Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ Look at our ancestor, Abraham. Was not it the result of his actions that he was pronounced righteous after he had offered his son, Isaac, on the altar? ²² You see how, in his case, faith and actions went together; that his faith was perfected as the result of his actions; ²³ And that in this way the words of Scripture came true-- "Abraham believed God, and that was regarded by God as righteousness," and "He was called the friend of God." ²⁴ You see, then, that it is as the result of his actions that a man is pronounced righteous, and not of his faith only.
