1 Corinthians 7:19 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Circumcision was an ordinance of God, a sign of God's covenant, as necessary to salvation in its time, as the fufilling of any precept of the law contained in ordinances: and uncircumcision also was something; for by the law relating to that ordinance, the uncircumcised male is determined to have broken God's covenant, and determined to a cutting off, Genesis 17:10-14. But in the present state of the church, circumcision was of no value or moment in the business of salvation: In Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love, Galatians 5:6.

1 Corinthians 7:19

19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
