Was not our forefather Abraham shown to be upright by his good deeds, namely, by offering Isaac his son upon the altar?

You see that a man is shown to be upright by his good deeds, and not merely by his faith.

Was not even Rahab the prostitute shown to be upright by her good deeds, namely, by entertaining the scouts and sending them off by a different road?

You have condemned and murdered the upright man; he offers no resistance.

So practice confessing your sins to one another, and praying for one another, that you may be cured. An upright man's prayer, when it keeps at work, is very powerful.
