Romans 4:9-12 Now, therefore, is this blessedness on account of circumcision, or on account of uncircumcision? for we say that AbrahamÆs faith was accounted to him for righteousness.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Now, therefore, is this blessedness on account of circumcision, or on account of uncircumcision? for we say that AbrahamÆs faith was accounted to him for righteousness. ¹⁰ How then was it given to him? by means of circumcision, or in uncircumcision? It was not given in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. ¹¹ For he received circumcision as a sign and a seal of the righteousness of his faith while he was uncircumcised: that he might become the father of all them who believe, though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be given to them also; ¹² So that the father of circumcision is not only to those who are of circumcision, but also to those who walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham while he was yet uncircumcised.
