Philippians 3:3
_ _ “We are the (real) circumcision” (Romans 2:25-29; Colossians 2:11).
_ _ worship God in the Spirit — The oldest manuscripts read, “worship by the Spirit of God”; our religious service is rendered by the Spirit (John 4:23, John 4:24). Legal worship was outward, and consisted in outward acts, restricted to certain times and places. Christian worship is spiritual, flowing from the inworkings of the Holy Spirit, not relating to certain isolated acts, but embracing the whole life (Romans 12:1). In the former, men trusted in something human, whether descent from the theocratic nation, or the righteousness of the law, or mortification of “the flesh” (“Having confidence,” or “glorying in the flesh”) [Neander] (Romans 1:9).
_ _ rejoice in Christ Jesus — “make our boast in Christ Jesus,” not in the law: the ground of their boasting.
_ _ have no confidence in the flesh — but in the Spirit. |
Philippians 3:3
For we — Christians. Are the only true circumcision — The people now in covenant with God. Who worship God in spirit — Not barely in the letter, but with the spiritual worship of inward holiness. And glory in Christ Jesus — As the only cause of all our blessings. And have no confidence in the flesh — In any outward advantage or prerogative. |
Philippians 3:3
(3) For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence (c) in the flesh.
(3) He shows that we ought to use true circumcision, that is, the circumcision of the heart, so that by cutting off all wicked affections by the power of Christ, we may serve God in purity of life.
(c) In outward things which do not at all pertain to the soul. |
