A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE FAITH
ROMANS 4:8-12
BLESSED
IS
THE MAN TO WHOM
THE LORD WILL NOT IMPUTE SIN.
COMETH THIS BLESSEDNESS
THEN UPON THE CIRCUMCISION ONLY,
OR
UPON THE UNCIRCUMCISION ALSO?
FOR WE SAY THAT
FAITH WAS RECKONED
TO ABRAHAM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
HOW WAS IT THEN RECKONED?
WHEN HE WAS IN CIRCUMCISION,
OR IN UNCIRCUMSION?
NOT IN CIRCUMCISION
BUT IN UNCIRCUMCISION.
AND
HE RECEIVED
THE SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION,
A SEAL
OF
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
OF THE FAITH
WHICH HE HAD
YET BEING UNCIRCUMCISED:
THAT HE MIGHT BE
THE FATHER OF ALL THEM
THAT BELIEVE,
THOUGH THEY BE NOT CIRCUMCISED;
THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS
MIGHT BE IMPUTED
UNTO THEM ALSO:
AND
THE FATHER OF CIRCUMCISION
TO THEM WHO ARE
NOT OF
THE CIRCUMCISION ONLY,
BUT WHO ALSO
WALK IN
THE STEPS OF THE FAITH
OF OUR FATHER ABRAHAM,
WHICH HE HAD BEING
YET UNCIRCUMCISED.
LOVE
