9 Is this blessedness then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.
10 How then was it credited? Was it while he was circumcised or uncircumcised? It was not while he was circumcised, but while he was uncircumcised.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness might also be credited to them,
12 and to be the father of the circumcised who are not only circumcised but also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
13 For the promise to Abraham or his descendants that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if those who are of the law inherit, faith is made void, and the promise is nullified.
15 For the law brings wrath, and where there is no law, there is no transgression.
