Galatians 3:6
Compare all
4 aHave you suffered so1 many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?  
5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?—
6 just as Abraham a“believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”  
7 Therefore know that only athose who are of faith are sons of Abraham.  
8 And athe Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, b“In you all the nations shall be blessed.”  
9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

Galatians 3:6

The answer to the question in Galatians 3:5 is here taken for granted, It was by the hearing of faith: following this up, he says, "Even as Abraham believed," etc. (Genesis 15:4-6; Romans 4:3). God supplies unto you the Spirit as the result of faith, not works, just as Abraham obtained justification by faith, not by works (Galatians 3:6, Galatians 3:8, Galatians 3:16; Galatians 4:22, Galatians 4:26, Galatians 4:28). Where justification is, there the Spirit is, so that if the former comes by faith, the latter must also.
