2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar ?
2:22 You see that his faith was working together with his works and his faith was perfected by works .
2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says , “Now Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness ,” and he was called God’s friend .
2:24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
2:25 And similarly , was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another way ?
2:26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead , so also faith without works is dead .
