9Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.
10How, then, was it judged? when he had circumcision, or when he had it not? Not when he had it, but when he did not have it:
11And he was given the sign of circumcision as a witness of the faith which he had before he underwent circumcision: so that he might be the father of all those who have faith, though they have not circumcision, and so that righteousness might be put to their account;
12And the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who keep to the way of that faith which our father Abraham had before he underwent circumcision.
13For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14For if they who are of the law are the people who get the heritage, then faith is made of no use, and the word of God has no power;
15For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.
