⁸ And the Scripture, foreseeing that ^(A)God would justify^[a] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, ^(B)“In you shall all the nations be blessed.”

⁹ Is this blessing then only for ^(A)the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? ^(B)For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness.

²⁶ So, if ^(A)a man who is uncircumcised keeps ^(B)the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded^[a] as circumcision?
