Ephesians 2:5-10 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ. For by grace (loving-kindness) you have been saved.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ. For by grace (loving-kindness) you have been saved. ⁶ God raised us up with him and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, with Christ Jesus. ⁷ So in the ages to come he, with Christ Jesus, might show the exceeding (surpassing) (exceptional) riches of his grace with kindness toward us. ⁸ By grace (Greek: charis, divine favor, loving-kindness) you have been saved through faith. It is not from you. It is the gift from God! ⁹ It is not the result of works. So no man should boast. ¹⁰ For we are his workmanship created with Christ Jesus for good works. God prepared these works in advance that we should walk in them.
