Paul asks a rhetorical question but one that succinctly concludes what he has been saying since chapter 1. That man can only be saved by God’s righteousness, and therefore, “where is boasting” (in ourselves.

God is righteous and had revealed that through the Mosaic Law, “but now” the Apostle Paul explains that “the righteousness of God without the law” has now been revealed. This study also explains that our faith IN CHRIST only matters because of the FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST (vs. 22).
