Galatians 5:2 Behold, I Paul say to you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. I. GOD WILL DEAL WITH US EITHER ALTOGETHER BY WORKS OR ALTOGETHER BY CHRIST; these things cannot be mixed. II. To piece up therefore the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY OUR OWN WORKS, and to add anything to the passion as a meritorious cause of our justification, is TO MAKE CHRIST UNPROFITABLE. III. WE OUGHT TO CONTENT OURSELVES WITH CHRIST AND HIS MERITS ALONE (Colossians 2:10). (T. Manton, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.WEB: Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. |
