21Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith

was made perfect? 23And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was

accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24You see then that a man is justified by works,

and not by faith only.

James 2:21-24

O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27So the

men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea

obey Him?”

3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,

but have not love, it profits me nothing.
