Footnotes

- 42 Grk “By what sort of law?”
- 43 Here ἄνθρωπον (anthrōpon) is used in an indefinite and general sense ( ἄνθρωπος 4.a.γ).

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. So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.
