| Romans 4:2
| For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath glory, but not with God.
| If Abraham were justified by works, or by his own works, he might have glory, and be commended by men, who judge only according to outward appearances; but not with God: that is, he could not be truly justified, so as to deserve a reward in heaven, without faith and the grace of God. (Witham) --- Not with God. Whatever glory or applause such works might procure from men, they would be of no value in the sight of God. (Challoner)
