We aren't justified by works of the law. But we are justified by grace through faith working in love. Not grace alone, not faith alone, not works alone...

Grace

Faith

Working

Love

>Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

If your works have anything to do with being saved, then it's not grace (which is a free and undeserved gift), it's God paying you for your work.

>But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

It says right here it's faith alone. "Worketh not" meaning you have no good deeds, just faith in Christ's sacrifice to save you.

And to further prove that works and faith are mutually exclusive, there's also Romans 11:6...

>And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
