“Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.”
Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness. Paul poses the question directly: Is salvation restricted to the circumcised, or does it extend to the uncircumcised? The example of Abraham's faith becomes the basis for universalizing salvation.
