Romans 4:9-12 - Abraham Justified Before Circumcision

⁹ This blessedness then, [is it] for the circumcision, or for the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness. ¹⁰ How then was it imputed to him? when circumcised, or while uncircumcised? Not when circumcised, but whilst uncircumcised. ¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had when uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all those who believe, though uncircumcised; that to them also the righteousness might be imputed: ¹² and the father of circumcision, not to those who are of the circumcision merely, but who also tread in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, which he exercised while uncircumcised.
