On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Note, The Lord is for the body, and it is not only folly, but sin against God, to prejudice our health for the pleasing of our appetite. God would thus teach his people to distinguish themselves from other people, not only in their religious worship, but in the common actions of life.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Thus these rudiments of the world were their tutors and governors ( Gal. iv. 2, 3 ), to bring them to that which is the revival of our first state in Adam and the earnest of our best state with Christ, that is, holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. This is indeed the great design of all the ordinances, that by them we may sanctify ourselves and learn to be holy.
