In this passage Paul says to the believers in Galatia, “This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” Their receiving the Spirit had been so definite as a matter of personal consciousness, that Paul could appeal to it as a ground for his argument.
This was in short for the Roman dominion to be placed at the disposal of one man.

To the disciples scattered throughout the province of Galatia who had been much disturbed by false leaders he gives a rule to be followed, "Walk by the Spirit." The other two of these incisive words of advice are found in the Ephesian letter "Grieve not the Spirit of God," and "be ye filled with the Spirit."
