James 2:24 King James Version (KJV)

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

James 2:24 New Living Translation (NLT)

So you see, we are shown to be right with God by what we do, not by faith alone.

James 2:21-24 The Message (MSG)

Wasn’t our ancestor Abraham “made right with God by works” when he placed his son Isaac on the sacrificial altar? Isn’t it obvious that faith and works are yoked partners, that faith expresses itself in works? That the works are “works of faith”? The full meaning of “believe” in the Scripture sentence, “Abraham believed God and was set right with God,” includes his action. It’s that weave of believing and acting that got Abraham named “God’s friend.” Is it not evident that a person is made right with God not by a barren faith but by faith fruitful in works?
