29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
29 And where does that leave our proud Jewish claim of having a corner on God? Also canceled. God is the God of outsider non-Jews as well as insider Jews.
29 Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,
29 After all, is God the God of the Jews only? Isn't he also the God of the Gentiles? Of course he is.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Romans 3:29
Commentary on Romans 3:27-31
(Read Romans 3:27-31)
God will have the great work of the justification and salvation of sinners carried on from first to last, so as to shut out boasting. Now, if we were saved by our own works, boasting would not be excluded. But the way of justification by faith for ever shuts out boasting. Yet believers are not left to be lawless; faith is a law, it is a working grace, wherever it is in truth. By faith, not in this matter an act of obedience, or a good work, but forming the relation between Christ and the sinner, which renders it proper that the believer should be pardoned and justified for the sake of the Saviour, and that the unbeliever who is not thus united or related to him, should remain under condemnation. The law is still of use to convince us of what is past, and to direct us for the future. Though we cannot be saved by it as a covenant, yet we own and submit to it, as a rule in the hand of the Mediator.
