Romans 3:27

Boasting Excluded

²⁶ As a proof, I repeat, at the present time, of his own righteousness, that he might be righteous in our eyes, and might pronounce righteous the man who takes his stand on faith in Jesus. ²⁷ What, then, becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what sort of Law? A Law requiring obedience? No, a Law requiring faith. ²⁸ For we conclude that a man is pronounced righteous on the ground of faith, quite apart from obedience to Law.
