EXPLANATION

Verse 4. This is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith. That is, a lively faith, working by charity, makes a man victorious over the greatest temptations, and over all the adversaries of his salvation. Witham.—Our faith; Not a bare speculative or dead faith, but a faith working by charity. Galatians 5:6. Challoner.
