Ephesians 2:8-10

8When you believed in Jesus, God saved you because he is very kind. You could not save yourselves, but that is God's gift to you.

9He has not saved you as a result of any good things that you have done. So nobody has any reason to be proud about it.

10It is God who has worked in us to make us what we are. He has given us a new life because we are united with Christ Jesus. He saved us so that now we can do good things in our lives. Those are good things that he has already prepared for us to do.
