Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Romans to address tensions between Jewish and Gentile Christians over the role of the Jewish law in salvation. He was building on Old Testament themes while arguing that true righteousness comes solely through faith in Christ, countering the idea that observing the law was essential. This context was shaped by ongoing debates in the early church about whether Gentiles needed to adopt Jewish customs to be part of God's people.
