You didn't come  clean on this verse.  You misused the verse out of context to defend your works/salvation.  You are slick by asking a question and not making a statement, but I can read between the lines.

I agree that we cannot save ourselves, but I do not agree that there is
nothing we can do to save ourselves.  God has extended his salvation to
us, without which no man can be saved.  Furthermore, in our deprived
condition, we would not even be wise enough to accept his plan of
salvation except that he drew us to it by his Spirit.  When that
happens, however, we must yield to him and respond.  There is something
we can do to accept his salvation, and that is respond to him, repent of
our sins and believe in Christ.  There are many things we can do to
facilitate God working in our lives, but without Him, there would be
nothing we could do of our own accord by our own works or by our own
power alone.
