Galatians 3:2
_ _ “Was it by the works of the law that ye received the Spirit (manifested by outward miracles, Galatians 3:5; Mark 16:17; Hebrews 2:4; and by spiritual graces, Galatians 3:14; Galatians 4:5, Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 1:13), or by the hearing of faith?” The “only” implies, “I desire, omitting other arguments, to rest the question on this alone”; I who was your teacher, desire now to “learn” this one thing from you. The epithet “Holy” is not prefixed to “Spirit” because that epithet is a joyous one, whereas this Epistle is stern and reproving [Bengel].
_ _ hearing of faith — Faith consists not in working, but in receiving (Romans 10:16, Romans 10:17). |
