'Good Deeds' in the Bible
My brothers, what good is there in a man's saying that he has faith, if he has no good deeds to prove it? Such faith cannot save him, can it?
But someone may say, "You have faith, and I have good deeds. Show me your faith without any good deeds, but I will show you mine by my good deeds."
But, O senseless man, are you willing to learn that faith without good deeds is worthless?
Was not our forefather Abraham shown to be upright by his good deeds, namely, by offering Isaac his son upon the altar?
You see that faith cooperated with his good deeds, and by his good deeds faith was made complete;
You see that a man is shown to be upright by his good deeds, and not merely by his faith.
Was not even Rahab the prostitute shown to be upright by her good deeds, namely, by entertaining the scouts and sending them off by a different road?
Just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without good deeds is dead.
Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him show by his noble living that his good deeds are done in humility, which wisdom prompts.
The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of compassion and good deeds, free from doubts and insincerity.
