Ephesians 2:10

For we are His workmanship. A reason why no man should glory. If we are God's workmanship, our salvation cannot be of ourselves. His is emphatic. His workmanship are we.

Created [κ τ ι σ θ ε ν τ ε ς]. See on John 1:3. The verb originally means to make habitable, to people. Hence to found. God is called ktisthv creator, 1 Peter 4:19, and oJ ktisav he that created, Romans 1:25. Compare Revelation 4:11. Ktisiv is used of the whole sum of created things, Mark 10:6; Romans 8:22.

Afore prepared [π ρ ο η τ ο ι μ α σ ε ν]. Rev, more correctly, prepared. Made ready beforehand. God prearranged a sphere of moral action for us to walk in. Not only are works the necessary outcome of faith, but the character and direction of the works are made ready by God.

That we should walk. In order that; to the end that.
