If he became acceptable to God because of what he did, then he would have something to brag about. But he would never be able to brag about it to God. If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has ground of boasting, but not toward God.
For if Abraham were justified by works, he has whereof to glory; but not before God.
For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.
For if he was held to be righteous on the ground of his actions, he has something to boast of; but not in the presence of God.
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast -- but not before God;
