Ro. 4:1,11‑16• 1¿Qué, pues, diremos que halló Abraham nuestro padre según la carne?
11Y recibió la circuncisión por señal, por sello de la justicia de la fe que tuvo en la incircuncisión: para que fuese padre de todos los creyentes no circuncidados, para que también á ellos les sea contado por justicia;
12Y padre de la circuncisión, no solamente á los que son de la circuncisión, más también á los que siguen las pisadas de la fe que fué en nuestro padre Abraham antes de ser circuncidado.
13Porque no por la ley fué dada la promesa á Abraham ó á su simiente, que sería heredero del mundo, sino por la justicia de la fe.
