Gal. 3:6‑9,29• 6Even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
 7Know then that they who are of faith, these are sons of Abraham.
 8And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, announced beforehand to Abraham: “In thee shall all the nations be blessed.”

 5but to him that worketh not but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.
 6Just as David also describeth the blessedness of the man to whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works.
 7“Blessed they whose iniquities have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered;
 8blessed [the] man to whom the Lord will in no way reckon sin.”
 9This blessedness then [cometh it] upon the circumcision or also upon the uncircumcision? For we say that to Abraham faith was reckoned for righteousness.
 10How then was it reckoned? When he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision.
 11And he received [the] sign of circumcision as seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had] in uncircumcision, in order to his being father of all that believe in a state of uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also,
 12and father of circumcision not only to those circumcised but also to those that walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham while in uncircumcision.

 14For if those that are of law [be] heirs, faith is made vain and the promise is annulled.
 15For the law worketh out wrath; but where no law is, [there is] no transgression.
 16On this account [it is] of faith that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not only to that which [is] of the law, but also to that which [is] of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all

The translation of "upon" goes beyond the force of "eis" (unto). The translators and commentators fail in the force of the preposition.
