Study Note
'For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.' The verse resolves the Galatian controversy with a formula that transcends both circumcision-partisans and libertine Gentiles: what matters is 'faith energized by love' (pistis di' agapēs energoumenē). This phrase has been central in debates between Protestant (faith alone) and Catholic (faith formed by love) soteriology: Paul says faith works through love — love is love's activity, not its condition. Galatians 6:15's 'neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature' provides the parallel statement, making new creation and love-animated faith two ways of describing the same reality.
