Romans 4:9-12
Lexham English Bible

9 Therefore, is this blessing for those who are circumcised[a], or also for those who are uncircumcised[b]? For we say, “Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness.”[c] 10 How then was it credited? While he[d] was circumcised[e] or uncircumcised[f]? Not while circumcised[g] but while uncircumcised[h]! 11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal[i] of the righteousness by faith which he had while uncircumcised[j], so that he could be the father of all who believe although they are uncircumcised[k], so that righteousness could be credited to them,[l] 12 and the father of those who are circumcised[m] to those who are not only from the circumcision, but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised[n].
