Or rather, neither the Jew, called circumcision, nor the Gentiles, called uncircumcision, (as in Gal. 2.7.) is any thing, nor are men saved, because Jews, or because Gentiles, but as new Creatures in Christ, as Gal. 6.28, 29. There is neither Jew nor Greek in Christ, &c. as the ver. 16. cleareth, as many as walk according to this rule, &c. Then it maketh nothing, for the indifferency of circumcision, which to use at that time was to run in vain, and to fall from Christ, Gal. 5. and for Rom. 15. Paul speaketh of meats at that time indifferent, in the which we are to please one another in love, but not but according to the rules of love and charity, yea, we are to displease one another rather, ere we displease God and murder our brothers soul: Paul would not please Peter in Judaizing, Yea, if an Antinomian, or a Familist, a Socinian, an Arian or any false teacher come to us, he not bringing this doctrine of the Gospel, we are not to please him in love, though preaching another doctrine be an outward thing, yea, we are not to receive him unto our house, nor to bid him God speed, for he that bids him God speed, is partaker of his evil deeds, and we are never bidden keep the unity of the spirit with false teachers.
