James 2:20-24 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

20. But do you want to know, O foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?

21. Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?

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

23. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend.

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