Ephesians 2:8-10

Made Alive by Grace and Made One in Christ

Paul moves from spiritual death to resurrection life by grace, then from covenant alienation to reconciled unity in Christ's one new people.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

8For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9not by works, so that no one can boast.

10For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.
