James 2:24-26
J.B. Phillips New Testament
24-25 A man is justified before God by what he does as well as by what he believes. Rahab who was a prostitute and a foreigner has been quoted as an example of faith, yet surely it was her action that pleased God, when she welcomed Joshua’s reconnoitring party and got them safely back by a different route.
26 Yes, faith without action is as dead as a body without a soul.

New International Version
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)
