James 2:23 in Context — James 2
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.
24 Vedes, então, que o ser humano é justificado pelas obras, e não somente pela fé.
25 E de igual modo não foi também a prostituta Raabe justificada pelas obras, quando recebeu os mensageiros, e ajudou para que saíssem por outro caminho?
