Romans 3:27-31
New King James Version
Boasting Excluded
27 (A)Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude (B)that a man is [a]justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 29 Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, 30 since (C)there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.

Romans 3:27-31
American Standard Version
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.
31 Do we then make [e]the law of none effect [f]through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish [g]the law.
