Romans 4:9

Read in context

Romans 4:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 “Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”

9 Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.

10 In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.

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 then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
