Practice: Efesios 2:8-9

In Spanish, Ephesians 2:8-9 is "Efesios dos, del ocho al nueve." This is what is looks like in the NVI (and I also recorded my best attempt to say it in Spanish):

"Porque por gracia ustedes han sido salvados mediante la fe; esto no procede de ustedes, sino que es el regalo de Dios, no por obras, para que nadie se jacte."


I added at the end an alternate phrase, "[o] para que nadie se gloríe," which means, "[or] so that nobody can glory." Thanks to Rita from New Human Life, I am able to say it much better than I used to.

Here's the NIV in English: Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast."
