And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.” *3* “For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.” *4* “But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
