Bible Comments

It is excluded. — Strictly, It was excluded — at the moment when the law of faith — i.e., the gospel — was brought in.

By what law? — Properly, By what kind of law? Is this law which gets rid of boasting one which calls for works; or is it one that calls for faith?

The law of faith. — Another name for the gospel.
