THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

James 2:26 in context

James 2:23–26

So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.

You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.

In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

Selected verse

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
