Boast.
 No man will ever be able to boast of himself, “I have earned salvation.” One purpose of the plan of salvation is to show in the ages of eternity the riches of God’s grace (ch. 1:7). Thus there is to be no room for any boasting by man.
Not of works.
 See on Gal. 2:16; cf. on Rom. 4:4. Works are not a cause but an effect of salvation (see on Rom. 3:31).
