1 Corinthians 7:19 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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

Circumcision is nothing ... but the keeping of the commandments of Cod - namely, is all in all. Galatians 5:6 defines the Gospel commandment, "faith which worketh by love;" and Galatians 6:15, "a new creature" (cf. 1 John 3:26). Circumcision was a commandment of God; but not forever, as "love."
