Faith is Greater than Deeds: "On the Day of His manifestation, unless thou truly believest in Him, naught can save thee from the fire, even if thou performest every righteous deed" (swb 110) (13:1) "Since deeds are secondary to faith in Him" (swb 133) (13:2) However Deeds are Greater than Words: "Say: O brethren! Let deeds, not words, be your adorning." (hwd 24) (13:3) "The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds, through commendable and seemly conduct." (adj 24) (13:4) "Beware, O people of Baha, lest ye walk in the ways of them whose words differ from the deeds." (gwb 305) (13:5) "Holy words and pure deeds ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory." (Hidden Words page 46) - "O Son of Being! Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning.." (hwd 24)
(13:6)
