Holman Christian Standard Bible

James 2:22-26 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

22. You see that faith was active together with his works, and by works, faith was perfected.

23. So the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness, and he was called God’s friend.

24. You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

25. And in the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by a different route?

26. For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
