Greek Commentary for Galatians 3:14
Final clause (ινα hina and γενηται genētai aorist middle subjunctive). [source]
Second final clause coordinate with the first as in 2 Corinthians 9:3. So in Christ we all (Gentile and Jew) obtain the promise of blessing made to Abraham, through faith. [source]
Marking the purpose of Christ in redeeming from the curse of the law. [source]
The second ἵνα is parallel with the first. The deliverance from the curse results not only in extending to the Gentiles the blessing promised to Abraham, but in the impartation of the Spirit to both Jews and Gentiles through faith. The εὐλογία blessingis not God's gift of justification as the opposite of the curse; for in Galatians 3:10, Galatians 3:11, justification is not represented as the opposite of the curse, but as that by which the curse is removed and the blessing realized. The content of the curse is death, Galatians 3:13. The opposite of the curse is life. The subject of the promise is the life which comes through the Spirit. See John 7:39; Acts 2:17, Acts 2:38, Acts 2:39; Acts 10:45, Acts 10:47; Acts 15:7, Acts 15:8; Romans 5:5; Romans 8:2, Romans 8:4, Romans 8:6, Romans 8:11; Ephesians 1:13. [source]

First aorist passive participle of υπσοω hupsoō to lift up. Here both the literal and tropical sense occurs. Cf. John 12:32. The promise of the Holy Spirit (την επαγγελιαν του πνευματος του αγιου tēn epaggelian tou pneumatos tou hagiou). The promise mentioned in Acts 1:4 and now come true, consisting in the Holy Spirit “from the Father” (παρα του πατρος para tou patros), sent by the Father and by the Son (John 15:26; John 16:7). See also Galatians 3:14. He hath poured forth Aorist active indicative of εκχεω ekcheō the verb used by Joel and quoted by Peter already in Acts 2:17, Acts 2:18. Jesus has fulfilled his promise. This which ye see and hear (τουτο ο υμεις και βλεπετε και ακουετε touto ho humeis kai blepete kai akouete). This includes the sound like the rushing wind, the tongues like fire on each of them, the different languages spoken by the 120. “The proof was before their eyes in this new energy from heaven” (Furneaux), a culminating demonstration that Jesus was the Messiah.

Comp. 1 Corinthians 3:1. Mostly in Paul. See 1 Peter 2:5. Those who have received the Spirit and are led by him. See Galatians 3:2, Galatians 3:3, Galatians 3:5, Galatians 3:14; Galatians 4:6; Galatians 5:5, Galatians 5:16, Galatians 5:18, Galatians 5:25.

Both Jews and Gentiles (Galatians 3:14) and in the same way “through faith in Christ Jesus” There is no other way to become “sons of God” in the full ethical and spiritual sense that Paul means, not mere physical descendants of Abraham, but “sons of Abraham,” “those by faith” (Galatians 3:7). The Jews are called by Jesus “the sons of the Kingdom” (Matthew 8:12) in privilege, but not in fact. God is the Father of all men as Creator, but the spiritual Father only of those who by faith in Christ Jesus receive “adoption” Those led by the Spirit are sons of God (Romans 8:14). [source]
Strictly, the promise. Denoting the promise as characteristic of the Holy Spirit: the Spirit which was announced by promise. See Acts 2:16sqq.; Joel 2:28; Zechariah 12:10; Isaiah 32:15; Isaiah 44:3; John 7:39; Acts 1:4-8; Galatians 3:14. [source]
