Romanos 4:12 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 4:12

And the father of circumcision
So the Jews call Abraham (Mylwmynh var) F12, "the head of those that are circumcised"; and (Mylwml var) F13, "the head to them that are circumcised"; but the apostle here says, he is a father

to them who are not of the circumcision only;
not to the Jews only, in a spiritual sense, and not to all of them, since some were "of Israel", who were not Israel, not Israelites indeed, or true believers;

but [to such] also [who] walk in the steps of that faith of our
father Abraham, which he had, being yet uncircumcised;
that is, who have the same faith he had; imitate and follow him in the exercise of faith; walk by faith, as he did when he was uncircumcised, as they are; and so the Jews say F14,

``Abraham is the father of all, (wtnwmab wyrxa Myab) , "that go after him in his faith".''

Romanos 4:12 In-Context

10 Entonces, ¿cómo le fue contada? ¿Siendo circunciso o incircunciso? No siendo circunciso, sino siendo incircunciso;
11 y recibió la señal de la circuncisión como sello de la justicia de la fe que tenía mientras aún era incircunciso, para que fuera padre de todos los que creen sin ser circuncidados, a fin de que la justicia también a ellos les fuera imputada;
12 y padre de la circuncisión para aquellos que no solamente son de la circuncisión, sino que también siguen en los pasos de la fe que tenía nuestro padre Abraham cuando era incircunciso.
13 Porque la promesa a Abraham o a su descendencia de que él sería heredero del mundo, no fue hecha por medio de la ley, sino por medio de la justicia de la fe.
14 Porque si los que son de la ley son herederos, vana resulta la fe y anulada la promesa;
