2 Timothy 3:16-17 says: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work. See this link for understanding of good work. Doing justice for others is a good work.
Christians who say that they believe that the bible is God’s word to them, and that they believe every word in the bible, say, in effect, that they believe that this scripture and all other scriptures in the bible are true and apply to them personally. Therefore, people who believe this way should be able to find truth in each scripture on this page and apply that truth to their own lives.
Since the bible is a book of Symbols, Signs, Types, Parables, Allegories, Copies, and Shadows, the meanings of many scriptures are hidden in figurative language. But it is also true that the meanings of many scriptures may be understood in both literally and figuratively.
Because most of the scriptures below may be easily understood in their literal sense, readers who believe that 2 Timothy 3:16-17 is true should be able to understand and apply the literal meanings of those scriptures to their personal lives. People who are not able to find truth and apply to themselves personally are either deceived about what they believe, or they are not looking at these scriptures carefully.
To the greatest degree possible, God’s commands should be obeyed without public recognition. That means that they should not be done in the context of public religious activity. In other words, obedience to God’s commands is purely a private matter — not a religious activity. Since religion is a public activity, obedience to God’s commands cannot be achieved through religion.
All of the references to justice listed on this page are “good works.” Good works include positive commands (i.e., things to do) and negative commands (i.e., things that should not be done.) See this link for understanding of good work.
All of these commands are possible for every person to obey because obedience is not dependent on social, economic, intellectual, physical or geographic conditions
