Romains 4:9 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 4:9

[Cometh] this blessedness then upon the circumcision [only]?
&c.] That is, upon the circumcised Jews; are they the only persons that partake of this happiness? the word "only" is rightly supplied, and is in the Claromontane exemplar used by Beza, and in the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions:

or upon the uncircumcision also?
upon the uncircumcised Gentiles; do not they likewise share in this blessedness?

for we say, that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
The design of these words with the following, is to prove that the blessing of justification belongs to Gentiles as well as Jews, and that it is by faith, and not by circumcision; which is done by observing the state and condition Abraham was in when justified.

Romains 4:9 In-Context

7 Heureux ceux dont les iniquités sont pardonnées, et les péchés couverts!
8 Heureux l'homme à qui le Seigneur n'imputera point le péché!
9 Ce bonheur donc, n'est-il que pour les circoncis? Ou est-il aussi pour les incirconcis? car nous disons que la foi d'Abraham lui fut imputée à justice.
10 Mais quand lui a-t-elle été imputée? Est-ce lorsqu'il a été circoncis, ou lorsqu'il ne l'était pas? Ce n'a point été aprÚs la circoncision, mais avant.
11 Et il reçut le signe de la circoncision, comme un sceau de la justice de la foi qu'il avait eue, Ă©tant incirconcis; afin d'ĂȘtre le pĂšre de tous ceux qui croient quoique incirconcis; et que la justice leur fĂ»t aussi imputĂ©e;
