romans 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.

< Romans 3:27
Romans 3:29 >

      28. Therefore we conclude, &c.--It is the unavoidable tendency of dependence upon our own works, less or more, for acceptance with God, to beget a spirit of "boasting." But that God should encourage such a spirit in sinners, by any procedure of His, is incredible. This therefore stamps falsehood upon every form of "justification by works," whereas the doctrine that.

Our faith receives a righteousness
    That makes the sinner just,

manifestly and entirely excludes "boasting"; and this is the best evidence of its truth.

JFB.
