James 2:22

You see that his faith was working together with his works and his faith was perfected by works.

because we recall in the presence of our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight -- the only thing that matters is faith working through love.

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He had received the promises, yet he was ready to offer up his only son.

But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith without works and I will show you faith by my works.

But whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him.

By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because just as Jesus is, so also are we in this world.
