A.T. Robertson Commentary
"For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love." — Galatians 5:6 (ASV)
Availeth anything (ισχυε τ). Old word to have strength (ισχυς). See on Mt 5:13. Neither Jew nor Greek has any recommendation in his state. See 3:28. All stand on a level in Christ.
Faith working through love (πιστις δι' αγαπης ενεργουμενη). Middle voice of ενεργεω and "through love," "the moral dynamic" (Burton) of Paul's conception of freedom from law.
