for if Abraham were justified by works, he hath something to boast of; but this he hath not before God:

through whom also we have admission by faith into this grace in which we stand, and boast in hope of the glory of God.

And not only so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.
