SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:19
La circuncisin nada es, y la incircuncisin nada es; sino la observancia de los mandamientos de Dios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:19
Verse 19. Circumcision is nothing] Circumcision itself, though commanded of God, is nothing of itself, it being only a sign of the justification which should be afterwards received by faith. At present, neither it nor its opposite either hinders or furthers the work of grace; and keeping the commandments of God, from his love shed abroad in a believing heart, is the sum and substance of religion.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-24 - The rules of Christianity reach every condition; and in every state man may live so as to be a credit to it. It is the duty of ever Christian to be content with his lot, and to conduct himself in his rank and place as becomes a Christian. Our comfort and happiness depen on what we are to Christ, not what we are in the world. No man shoul think to make his faith or religion, an argument to break through an natural or civil obligations. He should quietly and contentedly abid in the condition in which he is placed by Divine Providence.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
7:19 {But the keeping of the commandments of God} (alla teresis entolwn qeou). Old word in sense of watching (#Ac 4:3). Paul's view of the worthlessness of circumcision or of uncircumcision is stated again in #Ga 5:6; 6:15; Ro 2:25-29 (only the inward or spiritual Jew counts).
