You see that his faith was working together with his works and his faith was perfected by works.
“Do not harm the boy!” the angel said. “Do not do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God because you did not withhold your son, your only son, from me.”
Jesus replied, “This is the deed God requires – to believe in the one whom he sent.”
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight – the only thing that matters is faith working through love.
because we recall in the presence of our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith without works and I will show you faith by my works.
But whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him.
