at_o least_o twenty_o five_o year_n before_o he_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n as_o appear_v gen._n 15_o 6._o so_o that_o james_n speak_v only_o of_o a_o declarative_a justification_n before_o man_n and_o in_o our_o own_o conscience_n and_o so_o when_o abraham_n be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o offer_v up_o isaac_n the_o mean_v be_v by_o this_o his_o sincerity_n be_v make_v know_v to_o he_o he_o have_v a_o full_a and_o clear_a discovery_n that_o his_o faith_n be_v a_o save_v justify_v faith_n gen._n 22.12_o 2._o this_o seem_a difference_n between_o st._n paul_n and_o st._n james_n may_v be_v

these_o two_o apostle_n be_v reconcile_v st._n paul_n separate_v work_n from_o justification_n but_o not_o from_o faith_n st._n james_n join_v work_n to_o faith_n but_o not_o for_o justification_n at_o god_n bar_n but_o before_o man_n and_o in_o our_o own_o conscience_n now_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v it_o be_v abundant_o evident_a that_o we_o have_v no_o righteousness_n in_o ourselves_o
