'Works' in the Bible

who shall render to each according to his works:

to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal.

tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

but glory and honour and peace to every one that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek:

Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law is knowledge of sin.

Where then is boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;

for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law.

For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God;

Now to him that works the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but of debt:

Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:

For law works wrath; but where no law is neither is there transgression.

And not only that, but we also boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works endurance;

the children indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls),

Wherefore? Because it was not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone,

But if by grace, no longer of works: since otherwise grace is no more grace.

Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore is the whole law.

The night is far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
