TOPICAL STUDY SALVATION AND WORKS PSA 49:7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: PSA 49:8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) PSA 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. PSA 127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. ECC 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. ISA 43:26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. ISA 57:12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee. ISA 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. EZE 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity. EZE 33:12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. EZE 33:13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. EZE 33:14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; EZE 33:15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. EZE 33:16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. EZE 33:17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. EZE 33:18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. EZE 33:19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. DAN 9:18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. MAT 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. LUK 17:7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? LUK 17:8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? LUK 17:9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. LUK 17:10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. LUK 18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: LUK 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. LUK 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. LUK 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. LUK 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. LUK 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. ACT 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. ROM 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. ROM 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; ROM 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: ROM 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ROM 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: ROM 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; ROM 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. ROM 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. ROM 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. ROM 3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: ROM 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. ROM 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? ROM 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. ROM 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. ROM 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. ROM 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. ROM 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, ROM 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. ROM 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: ROM 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. ROM 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. ROM 9:32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; ROM 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 1CO 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 1CO 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 1CO 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. GAL 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. GAL 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. GAL 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. GAL 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. GAL 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. GAL 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. GAL 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. GAL 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? GAL 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. GAL 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. GAL 5:2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. GAL 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. GAL 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. GAL 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. GAL 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. EPH 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: PHI 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. PHI 3:4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: PHI 3:5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; PHI 3:6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. PHI 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. PHI 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, PHI 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: COL 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, COL 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; COL 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? COL 2:23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. 2TI 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, TIT 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, TIT 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; HEB 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. HEB 4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. HEB 4:5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. HEB 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: HEB 4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. HEB 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. HEB 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. HEB 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. HEB 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, HEB 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. HEB 9:1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. HEB 9:2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. HEB 9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; HEB 9:4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; HEB 9:5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. HEB 9:6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. HEB 9:7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: HEB 9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: HEB 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; HEB 9:10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. HEB 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; HEB 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. HEB 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: HEB 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? JAM 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. JAM 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. ============================== THE LECTRONIC IBRARY ECHANGE P.O.
