Context of Galatians 3:5
3Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh? 4Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in vain? He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, [is it] on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith? 6Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. 7Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;

Commentaries on Galatians 3:5

These miracles do not prove grace to be in the heart (Mr 9:38, 39). He speaks of these miracles as a matter of unquestioned notoriety among those addressed; an undesigned proof of their genuineness (compare 1Co 12:1-31). worketh miracles among you--rather, "IN you," as Ga 2:8; Mt 14:2; Ep 2:2; Php 2:13; at your conversion…Read the comment
