Clarke's 1-corinthians 7:19 Bible Commentary
Circumcision is nothing - Circumcision itself, though commanded of God, is nothing of itself, it being only a sign of the justification which should be afterwards received by faith. At present, neither it nor its opposite either hinders or furthers the work of grace; and keeping the commandments of God, from his love shed abroad in a believing heart, is the sum and substance of religion.
Barnes's 1-corinthians 7:19 Bible Commentary
Circumcision is nothing ... - It is of no consequence in itself. It is not that which God requires now. And the mere external rite can be of no consequence one way or the other. The heart is all; and that is what God demands; see the notes at Romans 2:29.
But the keeping of the commandments of God - Is something, is the main thing, is everything; and this can be done whether a man is circumcised or not.
Wesley's 1-corinthians 7:19 Bible Commentary
7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing - Will neither promote nor obstruct our salvation.The one point is, keeping the commandments of God; "faith working by love."
