rsv@James:2:23 @ and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness"; and he was called the friend of God.
rsv@James:2:24 @ You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
rsv@James:2:25 @ And in the same way was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
rsv@James:2:26 @ For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.
