Good Deeds and Faith

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.

You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

Now I commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.
