Romans 3:28

Verse 28. Therefore. As the result of the previous train of argument. That a man. That all who are justified; that is, that there is no other way. Is justified by faith. Is regarded and treated as righteous, by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. Without the deeds of the law. Without works as a meritorious ground of justification. The apostle, of course, does not mean that Christianity does not produce good works, or that they who are justified will not obey the law, and be holy; but that no righteousness of their own will be the ground of their justification. They are sinners; and as such can have no claim to be treated as righteous.
