He . . . that ministereth—or "supplieth," God (II Corinthians 9:10). He who supplied and supplies to you the Spirit still, to the present time. These miracles do not prove grace to be in the heart (Mark 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 Galatians 2:8; Matthew 14:2; Ephesians 2:2; Philippians 2:13; at your conversion and since [ALFORD].
doeth he it by the works of the law—that is, as a consequence resulting from (so the Greek) the works of the law (compare Galatians 3:2). This cannot be because the law was then unknown to you when you received those gifts of the Spirit.
