Ephesians 2:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ You were saved by faith in God, who treats us much better than we deserve.^[a] This is God's gift to you, and not anything you have done on your own. ⁹ It isn't something you have earned, so there is nothing you can brag about. ¹⁰ God planned for us to do good things and to live as he has always wanted us to live. This is why he sent Christ to make us what we are.
