Romans 4:10

How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised ? It was not after , but before he was circumcised .

Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before!

How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
