This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Therefore we conclude, etc. - 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.
