'Good Deeds' in the Bible

For if Abraham had been made right with God by doing good deeds he would have had something to boast about, but not in God's presence.

But to the person who believes in God, who makes ungodly people right with Himself apart from doing good deeds, that person's faith is considered by God [as the basis] for being righteous.

Even King David also spoke of the blessing experienced by the person who was considered righteous by God apart from doing good deeds.
