8For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God. 9And this is not of works, so that no one may glory. 10For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has prepared and in which we should walk.
16So then, let your light shine in the sight of men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father, who is in heaven.
14My brothers, what benefit is there if someone claims to have faith, but he does not have works? How would faith be able to save him? 15So if a brother or sister is naked and daily in need of food, 16and if anyone of you were to say to them: “Go in peace, keep warm and nourished,” and yet not give them the things that are necessary for the body, of what benefit is this? 17Thus even faith, if it does not have works, is dead, in and of itself.

1“Pay attention, lest you perform your justice before men, in order to be seen by them; otherwise you shall not have a reward with your Father, who is in heaven. 2Therefore, when you give alms, do not choose to sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the towns, so that they may be honored by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. 3But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your almsgiving may be in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
33Sell what you possess, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that will not wear out, a treasure that will not fall short, in heaven, where no thief approaches, and no moth corrupts. 34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
17Instruct the wealthy of this age not to have a superior attitude, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who offers us everything in abundance to enjoy, 18and to do good, to become rich in good works, to donate readily, to share, 19to gather for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may obtain true life.
20But, in a large house, there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also those of wood and of clay; and certainly some are held in honor, but others in dishonor. 21If anyone, then, will have cleansed himself from these things, he shall be a vessel held in honor, sanctified and useful to the Lord, prepared for every good work.
