Romans 3:27-31 - Boasting Excluded
27 Where is the boasting? It is excluded. Is it by law? Is it by works? No, it is by a principle of faith. 28 We reason therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the nations also? Yes, of the nations also. 30 If God is one he will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we nullify the law through faith? No we do not! In fact, we establish (continue) (stand by) (uphold) the law.
