Ephesians 2:8
“For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,”
«Pela graça vocês são salvos, mediante a fé… é dom de Deus» ensina que a salvação é inteiramente um dom de Deus, recebido pela fé, e não conquistado por boas obras.

Two key words: grace (God’s unearned favor) and faith (the trust that receives it). Salvation comes by grace, through faith — not by our performance.
The next verse adds “not by works, so that no one can boast.” The design is to leave no room for pride: everything points back to God’s generosity, not our achievement.
If works don’t save, do they matter?
Yes — the very next verse (2:10) says we were created “for good works.” Works are the fruit of salvation, not its cause.
