"it is not from works, so that no one can boast."
— Ephesians 2:9, NET Bible
and he raised us up together with him and seated us together with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
to demonstrate in the coming ages the surpassing wealth of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God;
it is not from works, so that no one can boast.
For we are his creative work, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we can do them.
New Life Corporately Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh– who are called“uncircumcision” by the so-called“circumcision” that is performed on the body by human hands–
that you were at that time without the Messiah, alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
