# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Paul is saying that circumcision alone does not make a man a descendant of Abraham, that is, a true Jew. A true Jew is one who has been circumcised and who lives by faith the way Abraham did.
|
|
|
|
# He is also the father of the circumcised
|
|
|
|
Here "the circumcision" refers to Jews.
|
|
|
|
# who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had
|
|
|
|
Here "walk in the footsteps of the faith" is an idiom that means to follow someone's example. Alternate translation: "who follow our father Abraham's example in the faith that he had" or "who have faith as our father Abraham did" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
