Titus 3:14
יד וְיִלְמְדוּ גַּם אַנְשֵׁי קְהִלָּתֵנוּ לַעֲסֹק בְּמַעֲשִׂים טוֹבִים לְמִלּוּי צְרָכִים חִיּוּנִיִּים, כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא יִהְיוּ חַסְרֵי פְּרִי.
Matthew 5:16
טז כָּךְ יָאֵר נָא אוֹרְכֶם לִפְנֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם, לְמַעַן יִרְאוּ אֶת מַעֲשֵׂיכֶם הַטּוֹבִים וִיכַבְּדוּ אֶת אֲבִיכֶם שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם.״

Matthew 5:16
5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (KJV)
Titus 3:8
3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. (KJV)
Titus 3:14
3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. (KJV)
Both Yeshua and Paul emphasize the need to be careful to maintain good works (Matthew 5:16, Titus 3:8, 3:14). The Torah contains several parallels to the concept of maintaining good works. In the Torah, the importance of good deeds is a recurring theme. For instance, the concept of “tzedakah,” often translated as righteousness, is a fundamental commandment in Judaism. It involves giving to those in need and is considered a just and righteous act (Deuteronomy 15:7-11). This aligns with the idea of doing good works that benefit others and reflect a commitment to God’s commands. The Torah also highlights the importance of ethical behavior in business and personal interactions, such as honest weights and measures (Leviticus 19:35-36), which can be considered as maintaining good works in daily life. Additionally, the Torah encourages the Israelites to be a “light unto the nations” (Isaiah 42:6), which can be paralleled with Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:16 to let one’s light shine before others through good deeds. This is how both Yeshua and Paul taught Torah! The Torah has not passed away!
