And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of the faith that he had while he was uncircumcised, in order that he might be the father of all that believe, even in a state of uncircumcision, so that righteousness might be counted to them also;

whom God has set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, through faith in his blood, in order to manifest his righteousness, in passing by the sins that were formerly committed through the forbearance of God;

but to him that works not, but believes on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Comes this blessedness then on those who are circumcised only, or on those who are uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham for righteousness.

For the promise that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, nor to his posterity, through law, but through the righteousness of faith.

If, then, he who is uncircumcised keeps the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

in order to manifest his righteousness at the present time, that he might be just, while he justifies him who believes in Jesus.

For what says the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

Even as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God counts righteousness without works, saying:

For this reason, it was counted to him for righteousness.
