James 2:21-24

Context
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,” 1  and he was called God’s friend. 2  2:24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
