Exegesis
The subject is hē graphē hē legousa {ἡ γραφὴ ἡ λέγουσα | hē graphḗ hē légousa} ‘the Scripture the one saying,’ where the article-participle construction functions like a relative clause introducing the quotation.
In context — James 2:23
And the Scripture was fulfilled when it declared, “Abraham believed God , and it was credited to him as righteousness ,” and he was designated a friend of God.
