James 2:21 in Context — James 2
19 Tu crês que há um só Deus? Fazes bem; os demônios também creem, e estremecem.
20 Ó tolo, queres te certificar de que a fé sem as obras é morta?
21 Acaso não foi o nosso pai Abraão justificado pelas obras, quando ofereceu o seu filho Isaque sobre o altar?
22 Vês que a fé cooperou com as suas obras, e que pelas obras a fé foi aperfeiçoada.
23 E cumpriu-se a Escritura que diz: “E Abraão creu em Deus, e isso lhe foi considerado como justiça”, e ele foi chamado amigo de Deus.
