The Misunderstood Boasting
Paul's statement about being saved not because of works, lest any man should boast, does not support the doctrine of justification by faith alone. This is because it misinterprets the kind of boasting Paul is referring to. Paul never uses the phrase 'faith alone,' and the context of the passage reveals that it pertains to the Jewish Gentile question found in his other writings. The works mentioned here are the actions done to obey the law of Moses.
