New American Standard Bible
20 But are you willing to acknowledge, (A)you foolish person, that (B)faith without works is useless? 21 (C)Was our father Abraham not justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that (D)faith was working with his works, and [a]as a result of the (E)works, faith was [b]perfected; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “(F)And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a (G)friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

James 2:20-24
Amplified Bible
20 But are you willing to recognize, you foolish [spiritually shallow] person, that faith without [good] works is useless? 21 Was our father Abraham not [shown to be] justified by works [of obedience which expressed his faith] when he offered Isaac his son on the altar [as a sacrifice to God]?(A) 22 You see that [his] faith was working together with his works, and as a result of the works, his faith was completed [reaching its maturity when he expressed his faith through obedience]. 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and this [faith] was credited to him [by God] as righteousness and as conformity to His will,” and he was called the friend of God.(B) 24 You see that a man (believer) is justified by works and not by faith alone [that is, by acts of obedience a born-again believer reveals his faith].

James 2:20-24
King James Version
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
