20. You fool! Faith that does nothing is worth nothing. Do you want me to prove this to you?
21. Our father Abraham was made right with God by what he did. He offered his son Isaac to God on the altar.
22. So you see that Abraham’s faith and what he did worked together. His faith was made perfect by what he did.
23. This shows the full meaning of the Scriptures that say, “Abraham believed God, and because of this faith he was accepted as one who is right with God.” Abraham was called “God’s friend.”
24. So you see that people are made right with God by what they do. They cannot be made right by faith alone.
