This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1–6. Your very reason, and your own experience, should tell you the all-importance of faith
(Gal 3:1) Unreasoning Galatians! who hath “overlooked” you? when you had a full counter charm—Jesus Christ displayed in front of you as crucified!
(Gal 3:2-5) I appeal to your own experience. (Gal 3:2) Were the deeds of the Law the source from which you heathen converts received the Spirit at first, or was it your hearing in faith? (Gal 3:3) Are you so utterly unreasoning? You made a beginning by the spirit and will you now make an end by the flesh? (Gal 3:4) Are too your many sufferings for the Gospel’s sake to have been endured without due result? I cannot think it. (Gal 3:5) So too with your present experience of the Spirit and of miracles—are they given you from deeds of the Law or from hearing in faith?
(Gal 3:6) You know the answer, it was all from faith, even as in the case of Abraham himself, to whom the Jews are always appealing; it was his faith that brought him righteousness.
