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

⁶ For in ^(A)Christ Jesus ^(B)neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but ^(C)faith working through love.

¹⁷ In the same way, ^(A)faith also, if it has no works, is ^[a]dead, being by itself.

²² You see that ^(A)faith was working with his works, and ^[a]as a result of the ^(B)works, faith was ^[b]perfected;

²⁶ For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also ^(A)faith without works is dead.
