James 2:22-24
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
22 Do you[a] see that faith was working-with his works, and the faith was perfected[b] by the works? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled, the one saying [in Gen 15:6] “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness”. And he was called a friend of God. 24 Do you[c] all see that a person is declared-righteous by works, and not by faith alone[d]?
