Romans 3:27

Boasting Excluded

²⁶ It showed his righteousness at this present season that he might himself be righteous, and the justifier of he who has faith in Jesus. ²⁷ Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. ²⁸ We reason therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
