2 Chronicles 6:23
23then hear from heaven and act and judge your servants, repaying the guilty by bringing his conduct on his own head, and vindicating the righteous by rewarding him according to his righteousness.Psalms 18:20-24
20 The Lord dealt with me aaccording to my righteousness;according to bthe cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
21For I have ckept the ways of the Lord,
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22For dall his rules ▼
▼Or just decrees
were before me,and his statutes I did not put away from me.
23I was fblameless before him,
and I kept myself from my guilt.
24So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
Psalms 19:11
11Moreover, by them is your servant warned;gin keeping them there is great reward.
Romans 2:6-7
6 hHe will render to each one according to his works: 7to those who iby patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;Galatians 6:7-8
7 jDo not be deceived: God is not mocked, for kwhatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8For lthe one who sows to his own flesh mwill from the flesh reap corruption, but nthe one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.James 2:21-26
21 oWas not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that pfaith was active along with his works, and faith was completed qby his works; 23and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, r“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a sfriend of God. 24You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25And in the same way was not also tRahab the prostitute justified by works uwhen she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
