1 Timothy 3
…16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
....
a pastor once said if you want to know what a good work is, check with Proverbs, though being careful not to use proverbs as Law.....
it's an interesting way to study scripture.

Proverbs 25:28
Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control.
- so it's clear, exercising self-control is a good work.
Proverbs 12:1
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.
- so, discipline is a good work; loving knowledge is a good work.
Proverbs 17:4
A wicked person listens to deceitful lips; a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.
- so, refusing to take part in lies is a good work.
