<p>11:47 <i>Woe to you For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed</i>- <i>Oikodomeo</i>&nbsp;means not only to build but carries the sense of &lsquo;to confirm&rsquo;, and is also translated in the NT in this sense. On one hand, building the tombs of the prophets was a sign of respect, but the Lord read it negatively, as if by doing so they were confirming the decision to murder them made by their forefathers. We have here an example of where the same action can be judged positively or negatively by the Lord; and this of itself disproves the mentality of salvation by works. Because it depends with what motive or background attitude the works are done, and this decides whether the work was an act of righteousness or a sin. And this is a further warning against the impossibility of judging another&rsquo;s works. For we fail to see those background, internal attitudes behind the work. See on Mt. 23:30&nbsp;<i>Our fathers</i>.</p>
