James 2:22-24
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
22 Do you[a] see that faith was working-with his works, and the faith was perfected[b] by the works? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled, the one saying [in Gen 15:6] “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness”. And he was called a friend of God. 24 Do you[c] all see that a person is declared-righteous by works, and not by faith alone[d]?

- James 2:22 Or, You see (a statement). That is, you empty person.
- James 2:22 Or, completed, fulfilled, brought to its goal.
- James 2:24 This ‘you’ is plural. Or, You all see (a statement).
- James 2:24 Or, only. That is, by faith with works, and not by faith alone. Faith alone is the faith of hearers only (1:22) and demons (2:19). Works as the inevitable fruit of genuine faith are in view here, not works done to earn salvation (as in Romans).
