“Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?”
You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did — the syntergeia (working together) of faith and deeds shows that these are not sequential or separable but dynamically integrated. The teloō (make complete/perfect) of faith through works suggests that faith attains its full expression and perfection only when it issues in action. Abraham's faith was not diminished by works but brought to consummation through them.
