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,”
«Благодатью вы спасены через веру… это дар Божий» учит, что спасение всецело есть дар Бога, принимаемый верою, а не зарабатываемый делами.
Краткий ответ переведён с помощью ИИ и проверяется. Полное объяснение показано на английском.
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.
