Sure it does...And it also has:
Rom 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Rom 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
And:
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
You can call yourself a goat...But do you know why there are goats in Matthew 25??? It's because there's no grace...You betcha...Those people will be judged by their good and bad works...
After Jesus died, Grace came...It came to the adopted church...
Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
You want to keep yourself under the law??? Be my guest...I'm under Grace...
You have a dilema...You pick what scripture you want to apply to yourself and throw the others away...Have at it...
The scriptures clearly teach salvation is all of God, nothing of man or his works.
Thanks for a great post

For all your claiming of Jesus, you still don't post any Jesus or Christ in your posts. Is it that you can't even bring yourself to say His Name? What is it? Is there no Christ in your Christianity?

This post just illustrated the inherent dangers of YOPIOS.
Some will take flawed interpretation of the teachings of Saint Paul, convince themselves that this is somehow the Word of God and use that to dismiss the ACTUAL Word of God.
Saint Paul's teachings were about the Gospel, they were NEVER intended to replace the Gospel.
Your notion that Matthew 25 was nullified by His Resurrection is absurd. Palm Sunday occurs in Matthew 21. His teaching in Matthew 25 occurred two or three days before His Crucifixion, nobody could ever assume that He was teaching about something that would become moot in less than a week and if it was moot Saint Matthew would never have written about it decades later.
I wonder if some here have ever even read the Gospels and if they have why they resist them so much.
