Romans 4:2-5

2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but inot before God. 3For what does the Scripture say? jAbraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” 4Now kto the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5And to the one who does not work but lbelieves in
Or  but trusts; compare verse 24
him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,

Galatians 2:16

16yet we know that na person is not justified
Or counted righteous (three times in verse 16); also verse 17
by works of the law pbut through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, qbecause by works of the law no one will be justified.

Galatians 5:4

4You are rsevered from Christ, syou who would be justified
Or counted righteous
by the law; uyou have fallen away from grace.

James 2:21-25

21 vWas not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that wfaith was active along with his works, and faith was completed xby his works; 23and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, yAbraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a zfriend of God. 24You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25And in the same way was not also aaRahab the prostitute justified by works abwhen she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
