8 For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:

9 not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.

8 Na te aroha noa hoki koutou i whakaorangia ai i runga i te whakapono; ehara ano hoki tenei i te mea no koutou: he mea homai noa na te Atua:

9 Ehara i nga mahi, kei whakamanamana te tangata.
