Romans 4:9-12

It has been too long since I last posted on Romans. I am right now posting my translation of Romans 4:9-12, and then by Sunday night I will post the comments for this section. Sorry for the delay, but I have been working on a sermon series on creation themes. There is a corresponding blog for this sermon series, which you can view, and listen to the audio. Here is the blog:

Here, now is my translation.

Romans 4:9-12

⁹ Therefore is this blessing for the circumcision or also for the uncircumcision? For we say, “Faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness” (Genesis 15:6). ¹⁰ How, then, was it reckoned? Was he in a state of circumcision or uncircumcision? He was not in a state of circumcision but uncircumcision! ¹¹ He received the sign of circumcision, a signet of the righteousness of faithfulness, which was his while he was in uncircumcision, so that he might be the father of all who believe in the state of uncircumcision, so that righteousness might be reckoned to them ¹² and the father of the circumcision, to those not of the circumcision alone but are also ones who walk in the steps of faith of our father Abraham while in uncircumcision.
