'Works' in the Bible

Even so faith without works is dead.

But a man may say, You have faith and I have works; let me see your faith without your works, and I will make my faith clear to you by my works.

Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use?

Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar?

You see that his faith was helping his works and was made complete by them;

You see that a man's righteousness is judged by his works and not by his faith only.

And in the same way, was not the righteousness of Rahab, the loose woman, judged by her works, when she took into her house those who were sent and let them go out by another way?

For as the body without the spirit is dead even so faith without works is dead.

Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.

But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.
