What do "WORKS mean in the NT?

Necessity of Working. Jesus Christ said that “the worker is worthy of his wages,” thereby indicating that those who labored in connection with spiritual matters would not lack necessities of life. (Lu 10:7) However, as the apostle Paul pointed out to the Thessalonians, the lazy person who refuses to work does not deserve to eat at the expense of others but should learn to work with his hands to care for his needs. (1Th 4:11; 2Th 3:10, 12) Likewise, the stealer should “steal no more” but “do hard work.”—Eph 4:28.\n\nFaith and Works. Works of the Mosaic Law, which included such things as sacrificial offerings, purifications, and circumcision, did not make a person righteous. (Ro 3:20; 4:1-10; Ga 3:2) Yet, the disciple James—who is not discussing works of Mosaic Law—says “a man is to be declared righteous by works, and not by faith alone” (Jas 2:24), for there must be practical works that demonstrate one’s faith, giving proof of it. (Compare Mt 7:21-27; Eph 2:8-10; Jas 1:27; 2:14-17; 4:4.) For example, Abraham had works that proved his faith, such as his willingness to offer up Isaac. Rahab also proved her faith by her works of hiding the Israelite spies.—Heb 11:17-19; Jas 2:21-25.\n\n It is God who backs up and strengthens those who work at doing his will. (2Co 4:7; Php 4:13) Whereas the lives of humans abound with vain works (Ec 2:10, 11), works relating to true worship are not in vain. Hebrew Christians were given the assurance: “God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name, in that you have ministered to the holy ones and continue ministering.” (Heb 6:10) Such work evidently included rendering material assistance or other kindnesses to those in need or to those experiencing suffering and persecution. (Compare Eph 4:28; Php 4:14-19; 1Ti 6:17, 18; Jas 1:27.) Other fine works include sharing in making disciples (Mt 28:19, 20; 1Co 3:9-15) and, in the case of men, serving as an overseer in a Christian congregation and teaching fellow believers.—1Th 5:12, 13; 1Ti 3:1; 5:17.\n\nMANY say that they have faith in God. Yet, mere professed faith is as lifeless as a corpse. “Faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself,” wrote the disciple James. He also said that God-fearing Abraham had faith that “worked along with his works.” (James 2:17, 22) What significance do such words have for us?\n\n If we have true faith, we will not just believe what we hear at Christian meetings. We will give evidence of faith, Yes, faith will prompt us to apply God’s Word in life and will move us to action.

In Protestant (liberal) theology there are several "middle grounds."  There is the notion that the Bible "contains God's word" and also that is can "become God's words."  These are of course nuanced meanings of how Scripture communicates God's message through a supposedly imperfect text.

works is a totally cheap word processor that is totally incompatible with every other word processor out there.  i think it's a microsoft scam to force you to buy their overwhelmingly expensive office suite when you become so frustrated with works

There are many different translations of the Bible. Some things were left out while others were manufactured. As for my language only having 10 words, I don't think the word "computer" would be a part of it.

First, the definition of work is the dot product of Force and Displacement.  If the displacement is perpendicular to the Force,\nthe force does no work.\n\nThe easiest example of this is centripetal motion, where the force\nis alway perpendicular to the oribital motion.\n\nSo the answer is d.

It means that you have used different constructions within an entry or from one step to another in the outline.\n\nExample: Within an entry. Working and to succeed are essential. It should read working and succeeding are essential OR to work and to succeed are essential. The last two are using parallel constructions while the first mixes the two.\n\nExample: Every line of your outline should be written in the same format. For example, you may use all phrases, or you may use all complete sentences. Be sure you are consistent.\n\nI hope this helps. My best guess is that your teacher is referring to using parallel constructions and you have not done so wherever s/he has so noted.

True for the most part, but different people have different definitions of "saved." Also, many of the Christian denominations use this word differently, so I'm not sure what you mean by it here. Essentially, you're right. Just because one knows Jesus and what He did for us doesn't guarantee one's salvation. Both faith and good works are required to be saved. For more on this, read the letters of St. Paul.

I have understood that James was referring to the Works with the Faith as the following:\n\nA person of faith will do the works of a person of faith.\nNot charitable acts, but works of prayer, fasting, congregation and of course charity.  I'm not here to talk about cahtolicism, but, most cahtolics I know, live worldly lives, and go confess every sunday of their sins.\n\nthey don't kill, they don't use God's name in vain, they don't steal, they don't lust, however, some do not pray as they should, or use their body of live sacrifice to God in Fasting, and reading the scriptures. Most still live wordly lives and those are not the works that God wants from us.  He wants us to SERVER HIM, PRAISE HIM, AT ALL TIMES GOOD TIMES OR BAD TIMES, WE MUST PRAISE HIM, GLORIFY HIS NAME.\n\nIf I am at the club with a drink on Saturday night I am worshipping the Devil, then go to MASS on Sunday and ask for forgiveness, does that make me a person of faith?\n\nMy faith does not encourage me of having works and no faith, or having faith and no work, they both go together, by my works they see the fruit of the harvest and know that my faith us true.\n\nGod Bless,

Never gave this one much thought until your question appeared....    "Please purchase three computer mice"  or "Please purchase three computer mouse units."  I think the meaning  is clear in both, so both the plural and the singular work in context.  Maybe an English language lecturer will provide a definitive answer.

What some have claimed is a disagreement between the apostle Paul and James. At Ephesians 2:8, 9, Paul says that Christians are saved by faith, not by works. He says: “You have been saved through faith . . . not owing to works.” James, however, insists on the importance of works. He writes: “As the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.” (James 2:26) How can these two statements be reconciled?\n\n Considering the context of Paul’s words, we find that one statement complements the other. The apostle Paul is referring to the efforts of the Jews to keep the Mosaic Law. They believed that if they kept the Law in all its details, they would be righteous. Paul pointed out that this was impossible. We can never become righteous—and thus deserve salvation—by our own works, for we are inherently sinful. We can only be saved by faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Romans 5:18.\n\n James, however, adds the vital point that faith in itself is valueless if not supported by actions. A person who claims to have faith in Jesus should prove it by what he does. An inactive faith is a dead faith and will not lead to salvation.\n\n The apostle Paul was in full agreement with this, and he often mentions the kinds of works that Christians should engage in to demonstrate their faith. For example, to the Romans he wrote: “With the heart one exercises faith for righteousness, but with the mouth one makes public declaration for salvation.” Making a “public declaration”—sharing our faith with others—is vital for salvation. (Romans 10:10; 1 Corinthians 15:58; Ephesians 5:15, 21-33; 6:15;  Hebrews 10:23-25.) No work, however, that a Christian can do, and certainly no effort to fulfill the Law of Moses, will earn him the right to everlasting life. This is “the gift God gives” to those who exercise faith.—Romans 6:23; John 3:16.\n\nJas. 2:14, 26, RS: “What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.” (A person does not earn salvation by his works. But anyone who has genuine faith will have works to go with it—works of obedience to the commands of God and Christ, works that demonstrate his faith and love. Without such works, his faith is dead.)

Notice, too, how other translations render this part of the verse: \n\n\n1808: "and the word was a god." The New Testament in an Improved Version, Upon the Basis of Archbishop Newcome's New Translation: With a Corrected Text. \n \n1864: "and a god was the word." The Emphatic Diaglott, interlinear reading, by Benjamin Wilson. \n \n1928: "and the Word was a divine being." La Bible du Centenaire, L'Evangile selon Jean, by Maurice Goguel. \n \n1935: "and the Word was divine." The Bible—An American Translation, by J. M. P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed. \n \n1946: "and of a divine kind was the Word." Das Neue Testament, by Ludwig Thimme. \n \n1950: "and the Word was a god." New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures. \n \n1958: "and the Word was a God." The New Testament, by James L. Tomanek. \n \n1975: "and a god (or, of a divine kind) was the Word." Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Siegfried Schulz. \n \n1978: "and godlike kind was the Logos." Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Johannes Schneider.  \n\nThese versions make more sense than the King James because how can Jesus be with God and BE God at the same time? Also, if Jesus IS God, then that would contradict John 1:18 where it says: "No man has seen God at any time."

STOP YELLING AT PEOPLE!\n\nSalvation is a gift from God, and we are saved by His grace alone.  Works have nothing to do with it, good or bad.
