Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith (q) of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall (r) no flesh be justified.
(q) In Jesus Christ.
(r) No man, and in this word "flesh" there is a great force, by which is meant that the nature of man is utterly corrupt.
