'Works' in the Bible

Thou didst make him some little less than messengers, with glory and honour Thou didst crown him, and didst set him over the works of Thy hands,

in which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and saw My works forty years;

for we do enter into the rest -- we who did believe, as He said, 'So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest -- ;' and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,

for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh day thus: 'And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;'

for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.

Wherefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, unto the perfection we may advance, not again a foundation laying of reformation from dead works, and of faith on God,

how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,
