# So how was it counted? When Abraham was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision?
Paul asks these questions to add emphasis to his remarks. Alternate translation: "When did God consider Abraham to be righteous? Was it before his circumcision, or after it?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# It was not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision
"It happened before he was circumcised, not after he was circumcised"
