This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

2. εἰ γὰρ Ἀ. The question bears on our argument, for if Abraham was justified from works, he has the right to boast, and is an exception to our principle which would be a precedent for other exceptions.

ἀλλ' οὐ πρὸς θεόν, sc. ἔχει καύχημα. Scripture shows that his condition was due to a free act of GOD; not therefore of works, not therefore a subject for personal boasting.
