This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gal 3:5. Ὁ ἐπιχορηγῶν-καὶ ἐνεργῶν) He that ministered-and wrought [viz. God]: so Chrysost. For the participle of the imperfect tense is contained in the participle of the present: ἐπὶ, in the first of these participles, is emphatic; for he who preaches ministers (χορηγεῖ). God, in the strict sense, ἐπιχορηγεῖ.[21]-δυνάμεις, powers) miraculous.-ἐξ, by) Supply, did He it.-ἐξ ἀκοῆς πίστεως, by the hearing of faith) This expression along with the following verse constitutes the proposition, and in καθὼς, even as, assumes the force of an affirmative.
[21] Ἐπιχορηγεῖν, to supply from above and abundantly gifts and graces, applies to God. Χορηγεῖν, to minister those gifts to others as the servant and instrument of God, applies to the minister.-ED.
