See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
Was it not you who rejected us, God? Do you no longer march with our armies?
For we consider that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Thus the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called “the friend of God.”
And in the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by a different route?
