Concluding his section on the triumph of faith in Christ, being both our means to justification and forgiveness, the Apostle Paul asks what room is left for boasting? The answer, clearly, is none. All who come to God by faith do so because they realize they are not self-sufficient, that they don't measure up on their own.
Along with this thought, Paul points out that God is the God of both his covenant people (Jews and Church) and the rest of the world (Gentile and un-Churched). That being said, faith is the solution for both even though one group has the advantage of knowing more about God, both need Christ's salvation, both need grace.
Pride? We don't have room for it.
