Romans 4:10 How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.
Paul mentions in verse 10 that Abraham's righteousness by faith preceded his circumcision.
In Genesis 15:6 we are told, And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.
again in Genesis 17:24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Pauls is trying to show that you can't add circumcision, or keeping the law for justification. These are TWO THINGS THAT THE JEWS TRIED TO ADD.
