Beware false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree the does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus You shall know them by their fruits.

Romans 2:9-11
There will be anguish and distress for everyone who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, but glory and honor and peace for everyone for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also Greek. For God shows no partiality.
Romans 2:12-16
All who have sinned apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not for the hearers of the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but the doers of the law but doers of the law who will be justified. When Gentiles, who do not possess the law, do instinctively what the law requires, these, though not having the law, are a law to themselves. They show that the law is written in their hearts, to which their own conscience also bears witness; and their conflicting thoughts will accuse or perhaps excuse them on the day when, according to my gospel, God, through Jesus Christ, will judge the secret thoughts of all. NRSV
1 Corinthians 3:12-15
Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw – the work of each builder will become visible, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each has done. If what has been built upon the foundation survives, the builder will receive a reward. If the work is burned up, the builder will suffer loss; the builder will be saved, but only as through fire.
2 Corinthians 5:10

James 2:14-17
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food and one of you says to them “Go in peace, keep warm and eat your fill.” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.
James 2:18
But someone will say “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
James 2:19
You believe God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe – and shudder.
James 2:20
Do you want to be shown, you senseless person, that faith apart from works is barren?
James 2:21-23
Was not our ancestor Abraham justified by works when he offered his son Isaac on the alter? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was brought to completion by works. Thus the scripture was fulfilled that says “Abraham believed in God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.” and he was called the friend of God.
James 2:24
You see that a person is justified by works and NOT by faith alone.
James 2:25
Likewise, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another road? (Joshua 2:1-21)

For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.

See, I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone’s work.
