Romans 4:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 4:9

7 “Blessed^a are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”

Abraham Justified Before Circumcision

9 Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

10 How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.

11 And ^ahe received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that ^bhe might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also,
