James:2:20-23
bwe@James:2:20 @ You are foolish! Believing is no good if it does not do anything good. Do you want to know that for sure?
bwe@James:2:21 @ Look at Abraham. God called our father Abraham a good man. This was because he gave his son Isaac to God on the holy table for a sacrifice.
bwe@James:2:22 @ You can see he believed. His faith and the things he did worked together. His believing was made all right because he did something.
bwe@James:2:23 @ The words of the holy writings came true. They say, Abraham believed God. And he was called a good man because of it. In another place he was called Gods friend.
