James 2:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 And the Scripture was [a]fulfilled which saith, (A)Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God.
24 [b]Ye see then how that of works a man is [c]justified, and not of [d]faith only.
25 [e]Likewise also was not (B)Rahab the harlot justified through works, when she had received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

James 2:23-25
New International Version
23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”[a](A) and he was called God’s friend.(B) 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?(C)
