Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Romans 3:27-28.


Romans 3:28

_ _ Therefore we conclude, etc. — It is the unavoidable tendency of dependence upon our own works, less or more, for acceptance with God, to beget a spirit of “boasting.” But that God should encourage such a spirit in sinners, by any procedure of His, is incredible. This therefore stamps falsehood upon every form of “justification by works,” whereas the doctrine that

Our faith receives a righteousness
That makes the sinner just,
manifestly and entirely excludes “boasting”;
and this is the best evidence of its truth.
Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 3:19-31.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 3:28

We conclude then that a man is justified by faith — And even by this, not as it is a work, but as it receives Christ; and, consequently, has something essentially different from all our works whatsoever.
