“You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, ‘And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,’ and he was called the friend of God.” James 2:22-23 (NAS)
This Old Testament quote by James concerning Abraham is originally found in Genesis chapter fifteen, verse six: “Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.”
