Deuteronomy 10:16

_ _ Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart — Here he teaches them the true and spiritual meaning of that rite, as was afterwards more strongly urged by Paul (Romans 2:25, Romans 2:29), and should be applied by us to our baptism, which is “not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God” [1 Peter 3:21].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 10:12-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 10:16

Circumcise — Rest not in your bodily circumcision, but seriously set upon that substantial work which is signified thereby: cleanse your hearts from all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, fitly compared to the foreskin, which if not cut off, made persons profane, unclean and odious in the sight of God.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
