HOW THEY ARE DISTINGUISHED. 1. By the true circumcision of the heart, which is both a sign and a seal of the righteousness of faith. 2. By walking in the steps of Abraham's faith. III. WHAT ARE THEIR PRIVILEGES. 1. Adoption. 2. Inheritance. (J. Lyth, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. |
