ACC ~ Galatians 3 v5

THE SPIRIT REQUIRES NO ADDED LAW. CHRYSOSTOM: His opponents had turned this about and upside down by saying that faith is of no avail if the law is not added. He shows, on the contrary, that if the law’s precepts are added, faith will no longer be of any use. HOMILY ON GALATIANS 3.5.

MIRACLES UNDESERVED. MARIUS VICTORINUS: After confirming that they have suffered and consequently that the Spirit has been given to them, he rightly goes on to ask whether God worked virtues in them from the works of the law or from the hearing of faith. “Obviously not from works,” [he says], “for it was not from yourselves that any works proceeded, but you heard in faith and were attentive to faith. And for this reason God worked virtues in you; and if he worked, he gave you the Spirit.” EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 1.3.5.
