And if they are chosen by grace, then they can’t work for it. If that were true, grace wouldn’t be grace anymore.

既是出于恩典，就不在乎行为；不然，恩典就不是恩典了。

既是靠恩典，就不凭行为，不然，恩典就不再是恩典了。

既以恩、則不復以行、否則恩不復為恩矣、

以恩則不以功、否、則恩不為恩、以功則不以恩、否、則功不為功、

若由恩則非由功、否則恩不復為恩、若由功則非由恩、否則功不復為功、

雖然、既曰蒙恩、則不復憑業；不然、恩將失其所以為恩矣。

And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.

But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

And since it is through God’s kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not be what it really is— free and undeserved.

Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace.

But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, since otherwise grace is no longer grace.

And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace.

Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace.

And if by grace, then[ is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if[ it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

And if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

God has saved us. He has chosen us to live a holy life. It wasn’t because of anything we have done. It was because of his own purpose and grace. Through Christ Jesus, God gave us this grace even before time began.

He saved us. It wasn’t because of the good things we had done. It was because of his mercy. He saved us by washing away our sins. We were born again. The Holy Spirit gave us new life.

Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God’s grace.

When a person works, their pay is not considered a gift. It is owed to them.But things are different with God. He makes ungodly people right with himself. If people trust in him, their faith is accepted even though they do not work. Their faith makes them right with God.

But because of God’s grace I am what I am. And his grace was not wasted on me. No, I have worked harder than all the other apostles. But I didn’t do the work. God’s grace was with me.

I do not get rid of the grace of God. What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!

The Lord your God will drive them out to make room for you. When he does, don’t say to yourself,“ The Lord has done it because I am godly. That’s why he brought me here to take over this land.” That isn’t true. The Lord is going to drive out those nations to make room for you because they are very evil.You are not going in to take over their land because you have done what is right or honest. It’s because those nations are so evil. That’s why the Lord your God will drive them out to make room for you. He will do what he said he would do. He made a promise to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.The Lord your God is giving you this good land to take as your own. But you must understand that it isn’t because you are a godly nation. In fact, you are stubborn.

So who can brag? No one! Are people saved by the law that requires them to obey? Not at all! They are saved because of the law that requires faith.We firmly believe that a person is made right with God because of their faith. They are not saved by obeying the law.

The law was given so that sin would increase. But where sin increased, God’s grace increased even more.Sin ruled and brought death. But grace rules in the lives of those who are right with God. The grace of God brings eternal life. That’s because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done.

But God loves us deeply. He is full of mercy.So he gave us new life because of what Christ has done. He gave us life even when we were dead in sin. God’s grace has saved you.God raised us up with Christ. He has seated us with him in his heavenly kingdom. That’s because we belong to Christ Jesus.He has done it to show the riches of his grace for all time to come. His grace can’t be compared with anything else. He has shown it by being kind to us. He was kind to us because of what Christ Jesus has done.God’s grace has saved you because of your faith in Christ. Your salvation doesn’t come from anything you do. It is God’s gift.It is not based on anything you have done. No one can brag about earning it.
