Romans 3:27

Righteousness through Faith in Christ

26He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
