Gal 3:14. Ἵνα-ἵνα, that-that) The first that corresponds to, being made (a curse), the last to, hath redeemed us; comp. that occurring twice, Gal 4:5, note.-εἰς τὰ ἔθνη) on the Gentiles, who were afar off, Gal 3:8.-τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πνεύματος, the promise of the Spirit) Luk 24:49, note.-λάβωμεν, we might receive) we Jews, nearly related in Christ to the blessing. The nature of faith is expressed by this word; the promise and faith stand in relation to each other.-διὰ τῆς πίστεως, by faith) not of works, for faith depends on the promise alone. “The Spirit from without kindles within us some spark of faith, whereby we lay hold of Christ, and even the Spirit Himself, that He may dwell within us.”-Flacius.
