Augustine of Hippo
“Inasmuch as it is a position, written and established on the most solid foundation of apostolic teaching, “that the just lives of faith;” and inasmuch also as this faith demands of us the duty at once of heart and tongue,—for an apostle says, “With the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and…” — editor's note: Hab. ii. 4; Rom. i. 17; Gal. iii. 11; Heb. x. 38
Read the whole comment“From faith; for by faith we live: and it is said of faith, “purifying their hearts by faith:” and as it is only the faith of Christ that cleanses; by disbelief in Christ, they are loosed from purification.” — editor's note: Gal. iii. 11.
Read the whole comment“And this, indeed, he shortly after says more plainly: “No man shall be justified by the law;” and in the Epistle to the Galatians, “Knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law.”” — editor's note: Gal. iii. 11.

Tertullian
“For each individual lives by his own faith, nor is there exception of persons with God; since it is not hearers of the law who are justified by the Lord, but doers, according to what the apostle withal says.” — editor's note: See Hab. ii. 4; Rom. i. 17; Gal. iii. 11; Heb. x. 38.
Read the whole comment“…together against the Lord, and against His Christ,” in order that thenceforward man might be justified by the liberty of faith, not by servitude to the law, “because the just shall live by his faith.”” — editor's note: Gal. ii. 16 and iii. 11.

Hilary of Poitiers
“…perceiving that Christ came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and to those who believe that the law cannot save through the faith of justification, questioned the Lord of the law, the Only-begotten God, as though He were a teacher of the common precepts and the writings of the law.” — editor's note: Cf. Rom. viii. 3, “What the law could not do;” and Gal. iii. 11 ff., “No man is justified by the law in the sight of God.…The law is not of faith.”
