Ephesians 2:8 Additional Translations
Geneva Study Bible

For by {h} grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

(h) So then, grace, that is to say, the gift of God, and faith, stand with one another, to which two it is contrary to be saved by ourselves, or by our works. Therefore, what do those mean who would join together things of such contrary natures?

Margin grace

2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith. Lest they might forget the doctrine that he ever preached, he reminds them that works of the law never saved them; that they were saved by God's grace shown in the gospel; that this salvation was obtained through the faith. The definite article is found before faith in the Greek, showing that the faith, or the gospel, is meant.

It is the gift of God. The salvation is not due to ourselves, but is God's gift. The grammatical construction of the Greek does not allow us to make faith the subject of the last clause. It is not faith, but salvation through the faith, which is the gift of God. So says John Wesley in his Notes: This refers to the previous clause, 'That you are saved,' etc.
