Is this blessing then on [a](A)the circumcised, or on [b]the uncircumcised also? For (B)we say, “(C)Faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.” 10 How then was it credited? While he was [c]circumcised, or [d]uncircumcised? Not while [e]circumcised, but while [f]uncircumcised; 11 and he (D)received the sign of circumcision, (E)a seal of the righteousness of the faith which [g]he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be (F)the father of (G)all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them, 12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which [h]he had while uncircumcised.
