'Actions' in the Bible
We are suffering justly, because we are getting what we deserve for what we have done; but this Man has done nothing wrong.”
I tell the things that I have seen at My Father’s side [in His very presence]; so you also do the things that you heard from your father.”
For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them]. I do not practice what I want to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate [and yielding to my human nature, my worldliness—my sinful capacity].
Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; [but that is no concern of mine, for] the Lord will repay him according to his actions.
So too, faith, if it does not have works [to back it up], is by itself dead [inoperative and ineffective].
“Behold, I (Jesus) am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to the merit of his deeds (earthly works, faithfulness).
