James 2:22 DBY

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  Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected.

²³  And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God.

²⁴  Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only.
