call_v the_o friend_n of_o god_n thus_o god_n justify_v he_o in_o his_o obedience_n as_o a_o true_a believer_n ergo_fw-la he_o conclude_v as_o all_o true_a faith_n so_o true_a justify_v faith_n have_v such_o fruit_n 3._o james_n show_v how_o god_n often_o bear_v witness_n and_o approve_v of_o particular_a action_n which_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o condemn_v such_o as_o abraham_n offer_v up_o his_o
