Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.

Strong's King James

(9) Is this happy blessing then upon the circumcision or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say, "THE BELIEVING-FAITH WAS CREDITED TO AVRAHAM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS."

The F.O.G

[9] Now, is this experience of transformative blessing reserved only for those who follow Jewish religious customs? Or does God's grace extend beyond cultural boundaries? Let's return to Abraham's story: We've established that his trust in God resulted in this profound acceptance.

The F.O.G Paraphrase

Is this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision—for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham—to righteousness?
