Romans 4:9-12 - Abraham Justified Before Circumcision
9 This happiness then upon circumcision, or upon uncircumcision? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for justice. 10 How then was it reckoned? to him being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith which in uncircumcision: for him to be father of all believing through uncircumcision; for justice also to be reckoned to them: 12 And father of circumcision to them not of circumcision only, but also to them, walking in order in the tracks of the uncircumcision, of the faith of our father Abraham.
