Galatians 3:6 Context
4Haue ye suffered so many things in vaine? if it be yet in vaine. 5He therfore that ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the workes of the Law, or by the hearing of faith? 6Euen as Abraham beleeued God, and it was accounted to him for righteousnesse. 7Knowe yee therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8And the Scripture foreseeing that God would iustifie the heathen through faith, preached before the Gospel vnto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

Wesley's Notes for Galatians 3:6
3:6 Doubtless in confirmation of that grand doctrine, that we are justified by faith, even as Abraham was. The Apostle, both in this and in the epistle to the Romans, makes great use of the instance of Abraham: the rather, because from Abraham the Jews drew their great argument, as they do this day, both for their own continuance in Judaism, and for denying the gentiles to be the church of God. #Gen 15:6|

Ga 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, etc. The Galatians would have to reply to the questions of Ga 3:5, "By the hearing of faith"? "Yes", says Paul, "Even as Abraham, who was accepted as righteous by faith without the law". See Ge 15:6. This passage is quoted in Ro 4:3,9,21,22 Jas 2:23.
