Par 

21 Was not Abraham our father iustified through workes, when he had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter?

22 Seest thou not, howe ye faith wrought with his deedes, and through ye deedes was the fayth made perfect?

23 And the scripture was fulfylled, which sayth: Abraham beleued God, and it was reputed vnto hym for ryghteousnesse: And he was called the friende of God.

24 Ye see then, howe that of deedes a man is iustified, and not of fayth only.

25 Lykewyse also, was not Rahab the harlot iustified through workes, when she had receaued the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

26 For as the body without the spirite is dead: euen so, fayth without workes, is dead also
