James 2:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 [a]Ye see then how that of works a man is [b]justified, and not of [c]faith only.
25 [d]Likewise also was not (A)Rahab the harlot justified through works, when she had received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
26 [e]For as the body without the spirit is dead, even so the faith without works is dead.

James 2:24-26
New International Version
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?(A) 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.(B)
