³⁹ Everyone who believes is justified^[a] through him from everything that you could not be justified from through the law of Moses.^(A)

³¹ But Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness,^(A) has not achieved the righteousness of the law.^[a](B)

⁹ not from works, so that no one can boast.

²⁰ Senseless person! Are you willing to learn that faith without works is useless?

²⁴ You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

²⁶ For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
