This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
new heart - mind and will.
spirit - motive and principle of action.
stony heart - unimpressible in serious things; like the “stony ground” (Mat 13:5, Mat 13:20), unfit for receiving the good seed so as to bring forth fruit.
heart of flesh - not “carnal” in opposition to “spiritual”; but impressible and docile, fit for receiving the good seed. In Eze 18:31 they are commanded, “Make you a new heart, and a new spirit.” Here God says, “A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you.” Thus the responsibility of man, and the sovereign grace of God, are shown to be coexistent. Man cannot make himself a new heart unless God gives it (Phi 2:12, Phi 2:13).
