Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

Romans 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

1 Corinthians 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
