27 Where then is (A)boasting? It has been excluded. By (B)what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 [a]For (C)we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from works [b]of the Law. 29 Or (D)is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed (E)God (F)who will justify the [c]circumcised [d]by faith and the [e]uncircumcised through faith (G)is one.

27 Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith. 28 [a]We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from [b]the works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also: 30 if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision [c]by faith, and the uncircumcision [d]through faith.
