While I referred to a number of biblical passages, here are the extrabiblical texts cited (extra = Latin for outside; hence, "outside the Bible):

“…You, O Lord… have not appointed repentance for the righteous, for Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, who did not sin against you.” Pr. Man. 8
“For Abraham was perfect in all his actions with the Lord and was pleasing through righteousness…” Jub. 23.10.
“And we find that Abraham our ancestor had performed the whole law before it was given.” Qidd. 4.14.
“The faith with which their ancestor Abraham believed in me merits that I should divide the sea for them.” Mek. Exod. 14.15[35b]

The discussion of justification by faith continues...

Suggested for memory: "For what does the Scripture say? 'Abraham, believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness'" (Romans 4:3).
