¹⁷ But if you call yourself a Jew and ^(A)rely on the law and boast in God

²³ You who ^(A)boast in the law ^(B)dishonor God by breaking the law.

² For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but ^(A)not before God.

²⁹ so ^(A)that no human being^[a] might boast in the presence of God. ³⁰ And because of him^[b] you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us ^(B)wisdom from God, ^(C)righteousness and ^(D)sanctification and ^(E)redemption, ³¹ so that, as it is written, ^(F)“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

^9 (A)not a result of works, ^(B)so that no one may boast.

^9 (A)who saved us and ^(B)called us to^[a] a holy calling, ^(C)not because of our works but because of ^(D)his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus ^(E)before the ages began,^[b]

³⁹ and by him ^(A)everyone who believes is freed^[a] from everything ^(B)from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.
