Scripture says . . . Romans 3:27,28,31
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. 

28
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 

31
Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.
