“Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:”
Romans 3:29 · King James Version
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid : yea, we establish the law.
