Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace

you have been saved through

faith, and that not of yourselves;

it is the gift of God, (9) not of

works, lest anyone should boast.

(10) For we are His

workmanship, created in Christ

Jesus for good works, which

God prepared beforehand that

we should walk in them.
