Commentaries and Concordances

WES:

4:4 Circumcise - Put away your corruptions. Heart - Let it be inward, not outward in the flesh only.

MHC:

4:3,4 An unhumbled heart is like ground untilled. It is ground which may be improved; it is our ground let out to us; but it is fallow; it is over-grown with thorns and weeds, the natural product of the corrupt heart. Let us entreat the Lord to create in us a clean heart, and to renew a right spirit within us; for except a man be born again, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.
