Ephesians 2:8–9 (KJV): "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Paul teaches that salvation is received by God's grace and comes to us through faith — it is a gift from God. He also teaches that it is not the result of human works or merit; our deeds, efforts, law‑keeping, or accomplishments cannot earn salvation (so no one can boast). Good works are the fruit or evidence of salvation, not the basis of it.
