James 2:24

---

← James 2:23	James 2:24 (KJV)	James 2:25 →
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.	Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.	Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way?
