On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

); that is, by submitting sincerely to the conduct of natural light, perform the matter of the law.

Observe, To carnal professors the law is but the letter; they read it as a bare writing, but are not ruled by it as a law. They did transgress, not only notwithstanding the letter and circumcision, but by it, that is, they thereby hardened themselves in sin.
