Even when we were dead through our trespasses, [God] made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).--Ephesians 2:5

[God] Who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not in virtue of our works but in virtue of his own purpose and the grace which he gave us in Christ Jesus ages ago.
--2 Timothy 1:9

You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.--James 2:24

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.--Ephesians 2:10

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.--Galatians 5:6
