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；

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。

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.

就是神的義，因著信耶穌基督，毫無區別地臨到所有信的人。

耶穌說：“今天救恩到了這家，他也是亞伯拉罕的子孫。

因著信，挪亞在還沒有看見的事上，得了神的警告，就動了敬畏的心，做了一艘方舟，使他全家得救。藉著這信心，他就定了那世代的罪，自己也承受了那因信而來的義。

他在我們身上蓋了印，就是賜聖靈在我們心裡作憑據。

耶穌說：“我就是生命的食物，到我這裡來的，必定不餓；信我的，永遠不渴。

不可讓神的聖靈憂傷，因為你們受了他的印記，等候得贖的日子。

你們既然聽了真理的道，就是使你們得救的福音，也信了基督，就在他裡面受了所應許的聖靈作為印記。

又作受割禮之人的父，就是作那些不僅受割禮，並且照著我們祖宗亞伯拉罕未受割禮時就信的那腳蹤而行之人的父。原來神給亞伯拉罕和他後裔承受世界的應許，並不是因著律法，而是藉著因信而來的義。

有話吩咐牠們，不可傷害地上的草，和所有青翠的東西，以及所有的樹木，只可傷害那些額上沒有神印記的人。

你們要把我的安息日分別為聖，作我與你們之間的憑據，使你們知道我是耶和華你們的神。

如果你們屬於基督，就是亞伯拉罕的後裔，是按照應許承受產業的了。

並且得以在他裡面，不是有自己因律法而得的義，而是有因信基督而得的義，就是基於信心，從神而來的義，

耶穌說：“我就是復活和生命；信我的人，雖然死了，也要活著。所有活著又信我的人，必定永遠不死，你信這話嗎？”

信子的，有永生；不信從子的，必不得見永生，神的震怒卻常在他身上。”

我實實在在告訴你們，信的人有永生。

他們說：“我們是亞伯拉罕的後裔，從來沒有被誰奴役過，你怎麼說‘你們必得自由’呢？”

因為律法的終極就是基督，使所有信的人都得著義。

好在現今顯明他的義，使人知道他自己為義，又稱信耶穌的人為義。

我們靠著聖靈，憑著信，熱切等候所盼望的義。

因為我父的旨意，是要使所有看見了子而信的人有永生，並且在末日我要使他們復活。”

但聖經把所有的人都圈在罪中，好把那因信耶穌基督而來的應許，賜給相信的人。

我告訴你們，必有許多人從東從西來到，和亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各在天國裡一起吃飯。

當然，這不是說神的話落了空，因為出自以色列的，不都是以色列人；

耶穌基督的僕人和使徒西門．彼得，寫信給那靠著我們的神和救主耶穌基督的義，得著和我們同樣寶貴信心的人。

耶和華你的神必把你心裡和你後裔心裡的污穢除掉，要你一心一意愛耶和華你的神，使你可以存活。

因為表面上作猶太人的並不是猶太人，在肉身上表面的割禮也不是割禮。唯有在內心作猶太人的才是猶太人；割禮也是心裡的，是靠著聖靈而不是靠著儀文。這樣的人所受的稱讚，不是從人來的，而是從神來的。

使所有信他的人都得永生。“神愛世人，甚至把他的獨生子賜給他們，叫一切信他的，不至滅亡，反得永生。

這是我和以色列人中間永遠的記號，因為六日之內耶和華創造了天地，但第七日就歇了工休息了。”

這血要在你們居住的房屋上作你們的記號；我擊打埃及地的時候，一看見這血，就越過你們去，災禍必不臨到你們身上毀滅你們。

西門．彼得回答：“你是基督，是永生神的兒子。”

所以，成為後嗣是因著信，為的是要按著神的恩典，使給所有後裔的應許堅定不移，不但臨到那屬於律法的人，也臨到那效法亞伯拉罕而信的人。亞伯拉罕在神面前作我們眾人的父，如經上所記：“我已經立了你作萬國的父。”他所信的，是叫死人得生命、使無變為有的神。在他沒有盼望的時候，仍然懷著盼望去信，因此就成了萬國的父，正如神所說：“你的後裔將要這樣眾多。”

信我的人，就像聖經所說的，從他的腹中要湧流出活水的江河來。”他這話是指著信他的人要接受聖靈說的；那時聖靈還沒有降臨，因為耶穌還沒有得著榮耀。

所有照這準則而行的人，願平安憐憫臨到他們，就是臨到神的以色列。

我與你和你的後裔所立的這約，是你們應當謹守的，就是你們所有的男子，都要受割禮。你們都要割去身上的包皮，這就是我與你們立約的記號了。

所以你們要知道，有信心的人，就是亞伯拉罕的子孫。

我又把我的安息日賜給他們，作我與他們之間的憑據，使他們知道我是使他們分別為聖的耶和華。

經上說：“所有信靠他的人，必不致失望。”

“你要吩咐以色列人說：你們務要守我的安息日，因為這是你我之間世世代代的記號，使你們知道我耶和華是把你們分別為聖的。

既是這樣，我們還有甚麼可說的呢？那不追求義的外族人卻得了義，就是因信而得的義。

但那出於信心的義卻這樣說：“你心裡不要說：‘誰要升到天上去呢？’（就是要把基督領下來，）

正如經上所記：“看哪，我在錫安放了一塊絆腳石，是絆倒人的磐石；信靠他的人，必不致失望。”
