Romans 3:27-31
Revised Standard Version

27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On the principle of works? No, but on the principle of faith. 28 For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since God is one; and he will justify the circumcised on the ground of their faith and the uncircumcised through their faith. 31 Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold 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.
