Tree of Life Version
23 The Scripture was fulfilled that says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness”[a]—and he was called God’s friend. [b] 24 You see that a man is proved righteous by works and not by faith alone. 25 And likewise, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also proved righteous by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out another way?
