James 2:22

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son,

but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:

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

Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.

You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
