Abraham believed in God, and he did what God asked him to do. So, you can see that both of these were necessary. When he did this good thing, he showed that he believed in God completely. This happened in the way that the Bible tells us. It says, ‘Abraham believed God. As a result, God accepted Abraham as right with him.’ God also called Abraham his friend. So, you see how God accepts someone as right with himself. That person must not only believe in God. He must also do good things to show that he has faith. James 2:22-24
可見，信心是與他的行為並行，而且信心因着行為才得成全。 這就應驗經上所說：「亞伯拉罕信上帝，這就算為他的義。」他又得稱為上帝的朋友。 這樣看來，人稱義是因着行為，不是單因着信。 雅各書 2:22-24
