Romans 3:28-31

3:28 For we consider that a person ¹  is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law. ²  3:29 Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles too? Yes, of the Gentiles too! 3:30 Since God is one, ³  he will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 3:31 Do we then nullify ⁴  the law through faith? Absolutely not! Instead ⁵  we uphold the law.

¹ tn Here ἄνθρωπον (anqrwpon) is used in an indefinite and general sense (BDAG 81 s.v. ἄνθρωπος 4.a.γ).
