James 2:21 in Context — James 2
19 Tu crois qu’il y a un seul Dieu, tu fais bien; les démons le croient aussi, et ils tremblent.
20 Veux-tu savoir, ô homme vain, que la foi sans les œuvres est inutile?
21 Abraham, notre père, ne fut-il pas justifié par les œuvres, lorsqu’il offrit son fils Isaac sur l’autel?
22 Tu vois que la foi agissait avec ses œuvres, et que par les œuvres la foi fut rendue parfaite.
23 Ainsi s’accomplit ce que dit l’Écriture: Abraham crut à Dieu, et cela lui fut imputé à justice; et il fut appelé ami de Dieu.
