Romans 4:11-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal on the righteousness received through faith while he was uncircumcised. Thus he was to be the father of all the uncircumcised who believe, so that to them [also] righteousness might be credited,(A) 12 as well as the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but also follow the path of faith that our father Abraham walked while still uncircumcised.

Romans 4:11-12
New International Version
11 And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised.(A) So then, he is the father(B) of all who believe(C) but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. 12 And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
Ben Sira 44:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 Abraham, father of many peoples,
kept his glory without stain:(A)
20 He observed the Most High’s command,
and entered into a covenant with him;
In his own flesh he incised the ordinance,[a]
and when tested was found loyal.(B)
21 For this reason, God promised him with an oath
to bless the nations through his descendants,
To make him numerous as grains of dust,
and to exalt his posterity like the stars,
Giving them an inheritance from sea to sea,
and from the River[b] to the ends of the earth.
