Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γάρ
for
The connecting word For introduces a reason-result relationship. The reason is that God is the one who created us to do any good works that we do. The result is that people cannot boast. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.
ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
in Christ Jesus
The phrase in Christ Jesus and similar expressions are metaphors that frequently occur in the New Testament letters. They express the strongest kind of relationship possible between Christ and those who believe in him.
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
ἵνα
in_order_that
The connecting phrase so that introduces a goal relationship. The goal or purpose of God creating us as he did is that we would do the good works that he intended for us to do.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν αὐτοῖς περιπατήσωμεν
in in them ˱we˲_/may/_walk
To walk on a path is a metaphor for how a person lives his life. Here, in them refers to the “good works.” Alternate translation: “we would always and continually do those good deeds”
2:10 He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us: Good works are the result, not the cause, of salvation. God’s Spirit, working through a transformed heart, produces a good life (Gal 5:22-23).
