Did Paul Teach We Would Be Saved by Grace Alone?

What Mormons believe about grace and works?

This comes from the Bible

But the idea persists that the writings of Paul are much more in favor of the grace approach.

Not so fast.

It is true that he addresses issues of ‘righteousness’ or ‘justice’, and asserts that this is available to us only through the virtue of pistis – ‘faith’ or ‘trust’ or even ‘fidelity’. But for Paul, pistis largely consists in works of obedience to God and love of others.

The only erga, ‘works’, which he is anxious to claim make no contribution to personal sanctity, are certain ‘ritual observances’ of the Law of Moses, such as circumcision or kosher dietary laws.
