Romans 4:11

World English Bible (2000)

He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

    1What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

    2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

    3For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

    5But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

    25For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

    26If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won't his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

    27Won't the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?

    28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;

    29but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
