Romans 3:27-31
Legacy Standard Bible
27 Where then is (A)boasting? It is excluded. By (B)what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 [a]For (C)we maintain that a man 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 that faith, (G)is one.
31 Do we then abolish [f]the Law through faith? (H)May it never be! On the contrary, we (I)establish the Law.

Evangelical Heritage Version
27 What happens to boasting then? It has been eliminated. By what principle[a]—by the principle of works? No, but by the principle of faith. 28 For we conclude that a person is justified by faith without the works of the law. 29 Or is he only the God of the Jews? Is he not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, also of the Gentiles, 30 since there is one God who will justify the circumcised person by faith and the uncircumcised person through the very same faith. 31 So are we doing away with the law by this faith? Absolutely not! Instead, we are upholding the law.
