Romans 4:17
Douay-Rheims
(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations,) before God, whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead; and calleth those things that are not, as those that are.
Augustine of Hippo
This means that faith is in the inner man, in the sight of God and not in human display, which is what the circumcision of the flesh is.
