Romans 3:27-31

The Righteousness of God Through Faith

²⁷ _o Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. ²⁸ For we hold that one is justified by faith _p apart from works of the law. ²⁹ Or _q is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, ³⁰ since _r God is one - who will justify the circumcised by faith and _s the uncircumcised through faith. ³¹ Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
