27 Therefore, where is boasting? It has been excluded. By what kind of law? Of works?

Yes, also of the Gentiles, 30 since God is one, who will justify those who are circumcised[b] by faith and those who are uncircumcised[c] through faith. 31 Therefore, do we nullify the law through faith? May it never be! But we uphold the law.
