21 Was not our father {patēr} Abraham (father of many) justified (rendered innocent) by what he did when he offered his son Isaac (he will laugh) on the altar? 22 You see that his faith was working with his actions (acts), and his faith was perfected by what he did. 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham (father of many) believed (had faith) God {Theō}, and it was credited to him as righteousness 24 As you⁺ can see, a man is justified by his deeds (acts) and not by faith alone. 25 In the same way, was not even Rahab (spacious) the prostitute justified (rendered innocent) by her actions when she welcomed the spies \messengers/ and sent them off on another route? 26 As the body without the spirit {pneumatos} is dead, so faith without deeds (acts) is dead. James 2:21-26, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
