Origen, on Rom 4:12
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Rom 4:12 · Douay-Rheims
“And might be the father of circumcision; not to them only, that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faithful, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.”
On this verse:
“After believing, Abraham received circumcision as a sign of the faith which he already had … which is how he can also be the father of those who are circumcised, provided that they share the same faith which he had while he was still uncircumcised.”
