Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Galatians 6:15

"For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature." — Galatians 6:15 (ASV)

The summary is brief. Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything as a means of salvation (cf. 5:6; 1 Corinthians 7:19). The only thing that counts is to be born again, to become a new creation. This comes about not by observing the law in any form but by receiving the truth of the Gospel.
