und würde auch ein Vater der Beschneidung, derer, die nicht allein beschnitten sind, sondern auch wandeln in den Fußtapfen des Glaubens, welcher war in unserm Vater Abraham, als er noch unbeschnitten war.
Y padre de la circuncisión, no solamente a los que son de la circuncisión, más también a los que siguen las pisadas de la fe que fue en nuestro padre Abraham antes de ser circuncidado.
et le père des circoncis, qui ne sont pas seulement circoncis, mais encore qui marchent sur les traces de la foi de notre père Abraham quand il était incirconcis.
e padre della circoncisione, a rispetto di coloro che non solo son della circoncisione, ma eziandio seguono le pedate della fede del padre nostro Abrahamo, la quale egli ebbe mentre era nell’incirconcisione.
E fosse pai da circuncisão, daqueles que não somente são da circuncisão, mas que também andam nas pisadas daquela fé que teve nosso pai Abraão, que tivera na incircuncisão.
也使他作受割禮之人的父,就是那些不但受割禮,而且跟隨我們的祖宗 亞伯拉罕 未受割禮而信的足跡的人。
