James 2:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 Was not Abraham our father [a]justified through works, (A)when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou not that the faith [b]wrought with his works? and through the works was the faith made [c]perfect.
23 And the Scripture was [d]fulfilled which saith, (B)Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God.
