Galatians 3:2

2 The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law ^{▼▼tn Grk “by [the] works of [the] law,” a reference to observing the Mosaic law.} or by believing what you heard? ^{▼▼tn Grk “by [the] hearing of faith.” Because the genitive noun πίστεως (pisteōs, “of faith”) is impersonal here, an objective genitive was preferred rather than a subjective genitive.
