'Acts' in the Bible

The taking of goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth, wrongdoing, deceit, sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, foolish acts:

With his arm he has done acts of power; he has put to flight those who have pride in their hearts.

To do acts of mercy to our fathers and to keep in mind his holy word,

Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.

And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you.

(He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts), of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God:

And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.

The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen.

But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.

Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, that is, Dorcas: this woman was given to good works and acts of mercy at all times.

And a number of those who had faith came and made a public statement of their sins and all their acts.

Who will come between us and the love of Christ? Will trouble, or pain, or cruel acts, or the need of food or of clothing, or danger, or the sword?

Let us then keep the feast, not with old leaven, and not with the leaven of evil thoughts and acts, but with the unleavened bread of true thoughts and right feelings.

For which cause my desire is that you will make your love to him clear by your acts.

But though I am rough in my way of talking, I am not so in knowledge, as we have made clear to all by our acts among you.

Truly the signs of an Apostle were done among you in quiet strength, with wonders and acts of power.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

Let all bitter, sharp and angry feeling, and noise, and evil words, be put away from you, with all unkind acts;

But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;

For it is God who is the cause of your desires and of your acts, for his good pleasure.

Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

Though I had said violent words against God, and done cruel acts, causing great trouble: but I was given mercy, because I did it without knowledge, not having faith;

They say that they have knowledge of God, while by their acts they are turning their backs on him; they are hated by all, hard-hearted, and judged to be without value for any good work.

In part, in being attacked by angry words and cruel acts, before the eyes of everyone, and in part, in being united with those who were attacked in this way.

But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.

And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth:

If we say we are joined to him, and are walking still in the dark, our words are false and our acts are untrue:

To be the judge of all, and to give a decision against all those whose lives are unpleasing to him, because of the evil acts which they have done, and because of all the hard things which sinners without fear of God have said against him.
