12 And Jehovah proceeded to say to Aʹbram: “Go your way out of your country and from your relatives* and from the house of your father to the country that I shall show you;+

11 And he received a sign,+ namely, circumcision, as a seal* of the righteousness by the faith he had while in his uncircumcised state, that he might be the father+ of all those having faith+ while in uncircumcision, in order for righteousness to be counted to them;

13 For it was not through law that Abraham or his seed had the promise+ that he should be heir of a world, but it was through the righteousness by faith.+
