Ted,

Your translation is a paraphrase. I suggest the following translation of the
passage:


8 for by the grace you are saved through the faith; and
that[1]<http://mail.google.com/mail/?ik=de1d32554b&view=cv&search=inbox&th=10e0007eb57d34b7&ww=772&lvp=-1&cvp=6&qt=&zx=5lm1qir5s5ne#_ftn1>not
out of you,
*it is* the gift of God; 9 not out of works, in order that no one might
boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, after being created in Christ Jesus
upon good works, which God prepared before in order that we might walk in
them.

In
the Greek this word cannot refer to either the words "faith" or "grace."


Yours in His service,
