²⁴ “Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and ^(A)believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and ^(B)does not come into judgment, but has ^(C)passed out of death into life.

^28 [a]For ^(A)we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from works ^[b]of the Law.

⁵ But to the one who does not work, but ^(A)believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,

⁶ But ^(A)if it is by grace, it is no longer ^[a]on the basis of works, since otherwise grace is no longer grace.

⁸ For ^(A)by grace you have been saved ^(B)through faith; and ^[a]this is not of yourselves, it is ^(C)the gift of God; ^9 (D)not a result of works, so that ^(E)no one may boast.
