Galatians 5:6 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Faith which worketh by love.— There is some degree of ambiguity in the original:— Δι αγαπης ενεργουμενη. It may be rendered either which operates, and works by love; or, which is wrought, inspired and perfected by love. Some have preferred the latter sense; and have taken occasion hence to shew, how much love tends to establish and perfect faith: but the former, which is the more usual sense, appears to be authorized by the use of the same word, Ephesians 3:20 and Colossians 1.
