Romans 4:9-12 - Abraham Justified Before Circumcision
9 Is this happiness then for the circumcised only, or for the uncircumcised also? for we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness. 10 how was it then accounted? whilst he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? he was not then circumcised, but uncircumcised: 11 and he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the justification by that faith, which the uncircumcised have: that he might be the father of all those who believe, tho' they are uncircumcised, that it might be accounted to them also for righteousness: 12 and the father of the circumcised, that is of those who are not barely circumcised, but who imitate that faith which our father Abraham had, being yet uncircumcised.
