Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Ver. 19. But the keeping of the commandment] This is that bonum hominis, good of man, Micah 6:8, that totum hominis, the whole of man,Ecclesiastes 12:13, that one thing necessary, that is better than sacrifice, 1 Samuel 15:22. Mallem obedire, quam miracula facere, saith Luther; I had rather obey than be able to do miracles.
