1 Cor 7:19

7:19 The first part of this verse is paralleled in Gal. 5:6 and 6:15. It would seem that the second part (“keeping the commandments of God”) is another way of saying, “faith working through love” (Gal. 5:6), and that such working faith is what characterizes the “new creation” (Gal. 6:15).
