'Deeds' in the Bible

So too, faith, if it does not have works [to back it up], is by itself dead [inoperative and ineffective].

In the same way, was Rahab the prostitute not justified by works too, when she received the [Hebrew] spies as guests and protected them, and sent them away [to escape] by a different route?

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.

However, the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, willing to yield, full of compassion and good deeds, and without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.
