James 2:21-23

Abraham our father--was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar?

dost thou see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected?

and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him--to righteousness;' and, `Friend of God' he was called.
