Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων, ἵνα μή τις καυχήσηται
not from works in_order_that not anyone ˓may˒_boast
Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. You may want to start a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Salvation does not come from works, so that no one may boast] or [God does not save a person because of what that person does, so no one can boast and say that he earned his salvation]
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 for saving believers by grace instead of by their works is that no person might boast, speaking as if they saved themselves.
2:1-10 Paul reflects on the terrible situation of the believers before they believed in Christ and the grace of God that has spared them.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
