Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Galatians 3:5

"He therefore that supplieth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?" — Galatians 3:5 (ASV)

Nothing must be allowed to obscure the point Paul is making, so once more he voices the test question of v.2, but his emphasis now is on God’s point of view, asking on what basis God is working miracles among them right up to the present. Paul anticipates here the end of the argument, for it is evident that blessing in the Christian life comes just as it began—through faith, and not as the result of any human attainments.
