Where is boasting; in this way of saving sinners, what ground is there for them to be vain of their own merit or worthiness? None at all.

It is excluded; it is not for their sakes, but for Christ's sake, that God pardons, accepts, and saves them. Not to them, but to him be all the glory.

By what law? in what way is their boasting excluded? By their being saved through their own works? No; but by their being saved in God's way, by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, called here the law of faith.
