Galatians 6:12 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

As many as desire to make a fair appearance in the flesh — To preserve a fair character. These constrain you — Both by their example and importunity. To be circumcised — Not so much from a principle of conscience, as lest they should suffer persecution — From the unbelieving Jews. For the cross of Christ — For maintaining that faith in a crucified Saviour is alone sufficient for justification.
