2:23 it happened just as the Scriptures say (literally the Scripture was fulfilled): James saw the offering of Isaac (Gen 22) as the fulfillment of Abraham’s pledge of faith and God’s declaration of Abraham’s righteousness (quoted from Gen 15:6). • He was even called the friend of God: James emphasizes the nature of faith as a relationship of undivided loyalty (Jas 1:5-8; 4:4; John 15:15).
