Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
English “It is excluded” was translated from Greek verb 1576 ekkleio from a compound of Greek preposition 1537 ek denoting the origin from whence action or motion proceeds relative to place, time, or cause and Greek 2808 kleio subjectively meaning to shut and objectively meaning to be shut out best exemplified negatively by “ye shut up” in “But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in” and best exemplified positively by “shutteth” in “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth”.
English “law” in Romans 3:27 above and throughout the bible were correctly translated from Greek masculine noun 3551 nomos from nemo meaning to feed. God and the Israelites made a flesh Old Testament/covenant/contact/law. God made a spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law between God and God’s “seven thousand” “election” and the “law of faith” in Romans 3:27 above is predicated upon God’s faith in “seven thousand” “election” pursuant to God’s will. There is flesh life, death and law. There is spiritual life, death and law. God’s “seven thousand” “election” are dead to the former and “the rest” are dead to the latter fully documented in previous posts. “But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection” “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”. God’s “seven thousand” “election” “shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”.
English “By” and “by” in Romans 3:27 above were translated from Greek preposition 1223 dia meaning through as the channel of an act. God controls God’s process pursuant to God’s will.
