11 [a]After, he received the [b]sign of circumcision, as the [c]seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had, when he was uncircumcised, [d]that he should be the father of all them that believe, not being circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also.

- Romans 4:11 A preventing of an objection: why then was Abraham circumcised, if he were already justified? That the gift of righteousness (saith he) might be confirmed in him.
- Romans 4:11 Circumcision, which is a sign: as we say, the Sacrament of Baptism, for Baptism which is a Sacrament.
- Romans 4:11 Circumcision was called before a sign, in respect of the outward ceremony: now Paul showeth the force and substance of that sign, that is, to what end it is used, to wit, not only to signify, but also to seal up the righteousness of faith, whereby we come to possess Christ himself: for the holy Ghost worketh that inwardly indeed, which the Sacraments being joined with the word, do represent.
- Romans 4:11 An applying of the example of Abraham to the uncircumcised believers, whose father also he maketh Abraham.
