Roma 3:27

3:27 Where, then, is boasting? ¹  It is excluded! By what principle? ²  Of works? No, but by the principle of faith!

[3:27]  ¹ tn Although a number of interpreters understand the “boasting” here to refer to Jewish boasting, others (e.g. C. E. B. Cranfield, “‘The Works of the Law’ in the Epistle to the Romans,” JSNT 43 [1991]: 96) take the phrase to refer to all human boasting before God.

[3:27]  ² tn Grk “By what sort of law?”
