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 驴C贸mo pues le fu茅 contada? 驴en la circuncisi贸n, 贸 en la incircuncisi贸n? No en la circuncisi贸n, sino en la incircuncisi贸n.
11 Y recibi贸 la circuncisi贸n por se帽al, por sello de la justicia de la fe que tuvo en la incircuncisi贸n: para que fuese padre de todos los creyentes no circuncidados, para que tambi茅n 谩 ellos les sea contado por justicia;
12 Y padre de la circuncisi贸n, no solamente 谩 los que son de la circuncisi贸n, m谩s tambi茅n 谩 los que siguen las pisadas de la fe que fu茅 en nuestro padre Abraham antes de ser circuncidado.
13 Porque no por la ley fu茅 dada la promesa 谩 Abraham 贸 谩 su simiente, que ser铆a heredero del mundo, sino por la justicia de la fe.
14 Porque si los que son de la ley son los herederos, vana es la fe, y anulada es la promesa.
