Ephesians 2:8-10For it is by graceyou have been saved,through faithand this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God9not by works,so that no one can boast.10For we are Gods handiwork,createdin Christ Jesus to do good works,which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 4:22-24You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put offyour old self,which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;23to be made new in the attitude of your minds;24and to put onthe new self,created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
