Romans 4:11

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
World English Bible (WEB)
And{G2532} he received{G2983}{(G5627)} the sign{G4592} of circumcision{G4061}, a seal{G4973} of the righteousness{G1343} of the faith{G4102} which{G3588} he had yet being{G1722} uncircumcised{G203}: that{G1519} he{G846} might be{G1511}{(G5750)} the father{G3962} of all{G3956} them that believe{G4100}{(G5723)}, though{G1223} they be not circumcised{G203}; that{G1519} righteousness{G1343} might be imputed{G3049}{(G5683)} unto them{G846} also{G2532}:
Strong's King James
(11) He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of believing-faith righteousness in his uncircumcision into him becoming the father of everybody who believes without being circumcised. For righteousness to be credited to them.
The F.O.G*
[11] The physical mark of circumcision came later, serving as a beautiful seal confirming the relationship of acceptance Abraham had already entered through faith. This sequence reveals God's purpose: Abraham would become the spiritual father of all who trust God, even without religious credentials, so they too can experience this same transformative acceptance.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,
