Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
27 What, then, can we boast about? Nothing! And what is the reason for this? Is it that we obey the Law? No, but that we believe.
27
Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith.
28 For we conclude that a person is put right with God only through faith, and not by doing what the Law commands.
28
For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
29 Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles also? Of course he is.
29
Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
30 God is one, and he will put the Jews right with himself on the basis of their faith, and will put the Gentiles right through their faith.
30
since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
31 Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.
31
Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
