他后来受割礼只不过是一个记号，表明他在受割礼前已经因信而被称为义人了。他因此成为一切未受割礼的信徒之父，使这些人也可以被算为义人。

并且他受了割礼的记号，作他未受割礼的时候因信称义的印证，叫他作一切未受割礼而信之人的父，使他们也算为义；

并且，他受了割礼的记号，作他未受割礼的时候因信称义的印证，为使他作一切未受割礼而信之人的父，使他们也算为义，

并且，他受了割礼的记号，作他未受割礼的时候因信称义的印证，为使他作一切未受割礼而信之人的父，使他们也算为义，

他领受了割礼为记号，作他受割礼之前因信称义的印证，使他作所有没有受割礼而信之人的父，使他们也被算为义；

并且他领受了割礼的标记，做为他没有受割礼时因信称义的印证，使他成为所有不凭着割礼而信之人的父，也使他们被算为义；

並且他受了割禮的記號，作他未受割禮的時候因信稱義的印證，叫他作一切未受割禮而信之人的父，使他們也算為義；

並且，他受了割禮的記號，作他未受割禮的時候因信稱義的印證，為使他作一切未受割禮而信之人的父，使他們也算為義，

並且，他受了割禮的記號，作他未受割禮的時候因信稱義的印證，為使他作一切未受割禮而信之人的父，使他們也算為義，

他後來受割禮只不過是一個記號，表明他在受割禮前已經因信而被稱為義人了。他因此成為一切未受割禮的信徒之父，使這些人也可以被算為義人。

他領受了割禮為記號，作他受割禮之前因信稱義的印證，使他作所有沒有受割禮而信之人的父，使他們也被算為義；

他領受了割禮為象徵，做沒受割禮時因信而稱的義的印記，好使他做一切沒受割禮而信的人的父，（叫義可以算為他們的），

並且他領受了割禮的標記，做為他沒有受割禮時因信稱義的印證，使他成為所有不憑著割禮而信之人的父，也使他們被算為義；

且亞伯拉罕受割之號、即其未受割、因信為義之印證、使為凡未割而信者之父、致彼稱義、

亞伯拉罕受割禮之號、即未受割、信而稱義之印證、如是、則亞伯拉罕可為未受割、信而稱義者之父、

彼受割禮之號、即未受割禮時、因信而稱義之印證、使其為凡未受割禮而信者之父、使彼亦得稱義、

其受割之儀式、不過為因信成義之印證、而其信德則於未割之時、固已全具矣。因是亞伯漢乃為未受割而因信成義者之父、

And he received circumcision as a sign, 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 have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.

He was circumcised as a sign of the covenant God had made with him. It showed that his faith had made him right with God before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the father of all believers who have not been circumcised. God accepts their faith. So their faith makes them right with him.

He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well,

Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous— even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith.

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while still uncircumcised. This was to make him the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, so that righteousness may be credited to them also.

and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them,

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

and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while still uncircumcised. This was to make him the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, so that righteousness may be credited to them also.

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 he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, so that he would become the father of all those who believe but have never been circumcised, that they too could have righteousness credited to them.

He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

人只要信耶稣基督，就可以被上帝称为义人，没有一个人例外。

耶稣说：“今天救恩临到这家了，因为他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙。

挪亚因为有信心，在上帝指示他未来要发生的事之后，就怀着敬畏的心建造方舟，来救全家的人。他借着信心定了那个世代的罪，并承受了因信而来的义。

在我们身上盖了祂自己的印记，并让圣灵住在我们心中作担保。

耶稣说：“我就是生命的粮，到我这里来的人必定不饿，信我的人必永远不渴。

不要让上帝的圣灵担忧，你们已经盖上了圣灵的印记，将来必蒙救赎。

你们听过真理之道，就是那使你们得救的福音，而且也信了基督。你们既然信祂，就领受了上帝应许赐下的圣灵为印记。

他也做了受割礼之人的父。这些人不只是受了割礼，还跟随我们先祖亚伯拉罕的脚步，效法他在未受割礼时的信心。上帝应许将世界赐给亚伯拉罕和他的后裔，不是因为亚伯拉罕遵行了律法，而是因为他因信而成了义人。

它们得到命令，不得毁坏地上的青草、树木和其他植物，只伤害额上没有上帝印记的人，

尊我定的安息日为圣日，作为我与你们之间的记号，使你们知道我是你们的上帝耶和华。

你们若属于基督，就是亚伯拉罕的后裔，都是照着上帝的应许承受产业的人。

与祂联合。我成为义人不是因为遵行律法，而是因为信靠基督。这义从上帝而来，以信为基础。

耶稣说：“我是复活，我是生命。信我的人虽然死了，也必复活。凡活着信我的人必永远不死。你相信吗？”

信子的人有永生；不信子的人得不到永生，上帝的烈怒常在他身上。”

我实实在在地告诉你们，信我的人有永生，

他们说：“我们是亚伯拉罕的子孙，从来没有做过奴隶，你为什么说我们可以得到自由呢？”

其实基督是律法的终极目的，使所有信靠祂的人都可以得到义。

好在现今显明祂的义，使人知道祂是公义的，祂也称信耶稣的为义人。

但我们要靠着圣灵，凭信心热切等候所盼望的义。

因为我父的旨意是要叫一切看见儿子并相信的人得到永生，在末日，我要叫他们复活。”

但圣经说万物都在罪的权势下，为要使那些相信的人因为相信耶稣基督而得到应许。

我告诉你们，将来有许多从东从西来的人会在天国与亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各一同欢宴。

当然，这并不表示上帝的话落了空，因为从以色列生的，不一定都是以色列人，

我是耶稣基督的奴仆和使徒西门·彼得，写信给借着我们的上帝和救主耶稣基督的义，与我们得到同样宝贵信心的人。

你们的上帝耶和华要洁净你们和你们子孙的心，好让你们全心全意地爱祂，并且存活。

因为徒具外表的犹太人不是真正的犹太人，身体上的割礼也不是真正的割礼。唯有从心里做犹太人的才是真犹太人，真割礼是借着圣灵在心里受的割礼，不在于律法条文。这样的人得到的称赞不是从人来的，而是从上帝来的。

叫一切信祂的人都得到永生。“因为上帝爱世人，甚至将祂独一的儿子赐给他们，叫一切信祂的人不致灭亡，反得永生。

这是我和以色列人之间永久的记号。耶和华用六天的时间创造天地万物，在第七天停工休息。”

涂在你们房屋上的血是一个记号，我见到这血就会越过你们。我击打埃及的时候，那灾祸不会落到你们身上。

西门·彼得回答说：“你是基督，是永活上帝的儿子！”

所以，上帝的应许是借着人的信心赐下的，好叫这一切都是出于上帝的恩典，确保应许归给所有亚伯拉罕的子孙，不单是守律法的人，也包括一切效法亚伯拉罕信心的人。亚伯拉罕在上帝面前是我们所有人的父，正如圣经上说：“我已经立你为万族之父。”他所信的上帝是能够使死人复活、使无变有的上帝。他在毫无指望的情况下仍然满怀盼望地相信上帝的应许，因而成为“万族之父”，正如上帝的应许：“你的后裔必这么多”。

正如圣经所言，信我的人，‘从他里面要流出活水的江河来’。”耶稣这话是指信祂的人要得到圣灵，但当时圣灵还没有降临，因为耶稣还没有得到荣耀。

愿上帝的平安和怜悯归给那些愿意按这原则生活的人，也归给上帝的以色列子民。

你们所有的男子都要受割礼，这是我与你和你的子孙所立的约，你们要遵守。你们都要割包皮，作为我与你们立约的记号。

因此，你们要明白，那些信上帝的人才是亚伯拉罕的子孙。

我又让他们遵守我的安息日，作为我与他们之间的记号，好叫他们知道是我耶和华使他们成为圣洁之民。

正如圣经上说：“信靠祂的人必不致蒙羞。”

“你要吩咐以色列百姓务必守我的安息日，因为这是我与你们之间世世代代的记号，叫你们知道使你们圣洁的是我耶和华。

这样看来，我们该说什么呢？本来不追求义的外族人却因信而得到了义。

但是论到以信心为基础的义，圣经上说：“不要心里说，‘谁要升到天上去呢？’意思是谁要把基督领下来，

正如圣经上说：“看啊！我在锡安放了一块绊脚石，一块使人跌倒的磐石。但信靠祂的人必不致蒙羞。”
