²² You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;

³ remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

¹⁷ By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son;

¹⁸ even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your seed be called;"

¹⁹ accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

¹⁸ Yes, a man will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.

⁵ But whoever keeps his word, God's love has most assuredly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:

¹⁷ In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.

¹⁸ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
