James 2:22

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

A man will say: You have faith and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

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

By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. He that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only-begotten son!

Whoever obeys his Word; the love of God is made perfect (complete) (mature) in him. By this we know that we are in union with him.

This is love made perfect through us, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment. Just as he is, we are, amid (exposed to) this world.

Then he picked up the knife to kill him.

You see that a man is justified (declared and pronounced righteous) by works, and not by faith alone.
