Subject: The justification of Abraham |
Bible Note: "Jam 2:21 - Abraham . . . justified by works--evidentially, and before men (see on Jam_2:18). In Jam_2:23, James, like Paul, recognizes the Scripture truth, that it was his faith that was counted to Abraham for righteousness in his justification before God. when he had offered--rather, "when he offered" [ALFORD], that is, brought as an offering at the altar; not implying that he actually offered him." [Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary] - Nolan |
