## Romans 4:10-13 in Context (Verses 7–16 KJV)
 
 [7 ](/kjv/romans/4/7) *Saying*, Blessed *are* they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/romans/4/8) Blessed *is* the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/romans/4/9) *Cometh* this blessedness then upon the circumcision *only*, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/romans/4/10) How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/romans/4/11) And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which *he had yet* being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
 
 [12 ](/kjv/romans/4/12) And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which *he had* being *yet* uncircumcised.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/romans/4/13) For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, *was* not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/romans/4/14) For if they which are of the law *be* heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
 
 [15 ](/kjv/romans/4/15) Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, *there is* no transgression.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/romans/4/16) Therefore *it is* of faith, that *it might be* by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
