Moses gave you circumcision, and so you circumcise a child on the Sabbath day. But circumcision did not really come from Moses. It came from Abraham.

Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision( though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath.

Moses gave you circumcision( not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

But you work on the Sabbath, too, when you obey Moses’ law of circumcision.( Actually, this tradition of circumcision began with the patriarchs, long before the law of Moses.)

“ This is why Moses has given you circumcision— not that it comes from Moses but from the fathers— and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

For this reason Moses has given you circumcision( not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and even on a Sabbath you circumcise a man.

Moses therefore gave you circumcision( not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

Moses hath given you circumcision( not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man.

“ Consider this: Moses has given you circumcision— not that it comes from Moses but from the fathers— and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision;( not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

However, because Moses gave you the practice of circumcision( not that it came from Moses, but from the forefathers), you circumcise a male child on the Sabbath.

Moses has given you circumcision( not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

On the eighth day the boy must be circumcised.

Here is my covenant that you and your family after you must keep. You and every male among you must be circumcised.That will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.It must be done for all time to come. Every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised. That includes those who are born into your own family or outside it. It also includes those bought with money from a stranger.So any male born into your family or bought with your money must be circumcised. My covenant will last forever. Your body will have the mark of my covenant on it.Any male who has not been circumcised will be separated from his people. He has broken my covenant.”

Is that blessing only for those who are circumcised? Or is it also for those who are not circumcised? We have been saying that God accepted Abraham’s faith. So his faith made him right with God.When did it happen? Was it after Abraham was circumcised, or before? It was before he was circumcised, not after!He was circumcised as a sign of the covenant God had made with him. It showed that his faith had made him right with God before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the father of all believers who have not been circumcised. God accepts their faith. So their faith makes them right with him.

Here is what I mean. The law came 430 years after the promise. But the law does not get rid of God’s covenant and promise. The covenant had already been made by God. So the law does not do away with the promise.
