Abraham our father, was it not, by works, he was declared righteous - when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

Thou seest that, his faith, had been working together with his works, and by his works did his faith become full-grown, -

And the scripture was fulfilled which saith - And Abraham believed God, And it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and, God's friend, was he called:

Ye see that - by works, a man is declared righteous, and not by faith alone.

And, in like manner also, Rahab the harlot, Was it not, by works, she was declared righteous, when she gave welcome unto the messengers, and, by another way, urged them forth?

Just as, the body, apart from spirit, is dead, so, our faith also, apart from works, is dead.
