In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?
James 2:25 · BSB
The verses around it, from James 2.
21 Was not our father Abraham justified by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
22 You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did.
23 And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
24 As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?
26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
