Ephesians 2:10

For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them. ¹ 

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.

For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.

For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them. ¹
