Romans 4:11-13

11and he 1received the sign of circumcision, 2a seal of the righteousness of the faith which 3he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be 4the father of 5all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them, 12and 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 6he had while uncircumcised.

13For 7the promise to Abraham or to his 8descendants 9that he would be heir of the world was not 10through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.
