27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

27 Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith.

27 Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith.

27 Where then is boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;

27 So, do we have anything to brag about? Bragging has been eliminated. On what basis was it eliminated? On the basis of our own efforts? No, indeed! Rather, it is eliminated on the basis of faith.

27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By one of works? No, on the contrary, by a law of faith.

27 Then what becomes of boasting? It is excluded. By what law? By that of works? No, but by the law of faith.

27 Therefore, where is boasting? It has been excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

27 So who can brag? No one! Are people saved by obeying the law? Not at all! They are saved because of their faith.

27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
