You know, the Gentiles were boasting of the works that God considered, to include them in the Body of Christ.
Ephesians 2: 8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
In Romans 2 and 3, Paul says that all were considered in the same way by God, the Jews under Law, the Gentiles under conscience. One was a formal covenant of works, the other informal. All were justified by God showing mercy, because all had failed, there was none righteous, neither Jew nor Gentile.
However, in John 8, Jesus was talking to Jews.
