Algebra, chapter II, § 2. Modules of linear mappings. Duality

For an A-module to be projective and finitely generated, it is necessary and sufficient that it be a direct factor of a free A-module with a finite basis.

The condition is obviously sufficient; conversely, a finitely generated projective module E is isomorphic to a quotient of a free module F with a finite basis (§ 1, no. 11) and E is isomorphic to a direct factor of F by virtue of Proposition 4 (d).

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
