Boasting Excluded - Romans 3:27-4:8

The gospel does not overthrow the law — it is what the law has always witnessed to — and in it, God accomplishes what no system of works ever could: the genuine cancellation of the debt of the ungodly, on the basis of a payment that was actually made.

Every Mouth Stopped - Romans 3:1-20

The law closes every door and stops every mouth, leaving the whole world accountable to God with no plea remaining — which is exactly the posture in which the gospel finds us.
