Romans 2:25-29
_ _ For circumcision — that is, One’s being within the covenant of which circumcision was the outward sign and seal.
_ _ verily profiteth, if thou keep the law — if the inward reality correspond to the outward sign.
_ _ but if, etc. — that is, “Otherwise, thou art no better than the uncircumcised heathen.” |
Romans 2:25
Circumcision indeed profiteth — He does not say, justifies. How far it profited is shown in the third and fourth chapters. Thy circumcision is become uncircumcision — is so already in effect. Thou wilt have no more benefit by it than if thou hadst never received it. The very same observation holds with regard to baptism. |
Romans 2:25
(9) For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
(9) He precisely prevents their objection, who set a holiness in circumcision, and the outward observation of the law: so that he shows that the outward circumcision, if it is separated from the inward, does not justify, and also condemns those who are indeed circumcised, of whom it is required that they fulfil that which circumcision signifies, that is to say, cleanness of the heart and the whole life according to the commandment of the law, so that if there is a man uncircumcised according to the flesh, who is circumcised in heart, he is far better and to be more regarded than any Jew that is circumcised according to the flesh only. |
