Romans 3:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 [a]Where is then the rejoicing? It is excluded. By what [b]Law? of works? Nay: but by the Law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith, without the works of the Law.
29 [c]God, is he the God of the [d]Jews only, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, even of the Gentiles also.

- Romans 3:27 An argument to prove this conclusion, that we are justified by faith without works, taken from the end of Justification. The end of Justification is the glory of God alone: therefore we are justified by faith without works: for if we were justified either by our own works only, or partly by faith, and partly by works, the glory of this justification should not be wholly given to God.
- Romans 3:27 By what doctrine? now the doctrine of works hath [this] condition joined with it, If thou doest: and the doctrine of faith hath this condition, If thou believest.
- Romans 3:29 Another argument of an absurdity: if justification depended upon the Law of Moses, then should God be a Savior to the Jews only. Again: if he should save the Jews after one sort, and the Gentiles after another, he should not be one and like himself. Therefore he will justify both of them after one selfsame manner, that is to say, by faith. Moreover, this argument must be joined to that which followeth next, that this conclusion may be firm and evident.
- Romans 3:29 God is said to be their God, after the manner of the Scripture, whom he loveth and tendereth.
Romans 3:27-29
New International Version
27 Where, then, is boasting?(A) It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.(B) 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,(C)
