21 Didn't our ancestor Abraham receive God's approval as a result of what he did when he offered his son Isaac as a sacrifice on the altar? 22 You see that Abraham's faith and what he did worked together. His faith was shown to be genuine by what he did. 23 The Scripture passage came true. It says, |Abraham believed God, and that faith was regarded by God to be his approval of Abraham.| So Abraham was called God's friend. 24 You see that a person receives God's approval because of what he does, not only because of what he believes.
