A fourth way to understand the text involves the idea that works are congruent with faith. Jeremiah 17:10 is helpful and understanding how this plays out in judgment. “According to” does not necessarily mean “on the basis of.”
“...he emphasizes the need for works to attain salvation at the final judgment.” should be changed to say “... he emphasizes the need for works to validate faith and vindicate God's verdict at the final judgment.”
