I addressed James 2:24 in post #28.

Regarding Philippians 2:12, notice Paul's very careful use of language: he does not say "work for your salvation", he says "work out your salvation." The Greek work is κατεργάζεσθε and it means "work out." In other words:

"Work out of a position of..."

NOT

"Work for something to be obtained..."

Philippians 2:12

Thank you for that Greek clarification and the dividing of the Word in your comment.
