Update to “Faith is not a Gift for Salvation”
A section of the article “Faith is not a Gift for Salvation” has been revised. Please see the updated version here. The revision starts with the sentence: “The same grammatical construction occurs in two other verses in the New Testament:”
I discovered that even though “By grace” in Ephesians 3:8 is a prepositional phrase in English, it is actually not a prepositional phrase in the Greek. Since it would be confusing without a long explanation, and no one would probably care anyway, I decided to approach it differently.
