14 Knowing that he which hath raised up the Lord Jesus, shall raise us up also by Jesus, and shall set us with you.

15 [c]For all things are for your sakes, [d]that that most plenteous grace by the thanksgiving of many, may redound to the praise of God.

  3. 2 Corinthians 4:15 He showeth how this constancy is preserved in them, to wit, because they respect God’s glory, and the salvation of the Churches committed unto them.
  4. 2 Corinthians 4:15 When it shall please God to deliver me, and restore me to you, that exceeding benefit which shall be poured upon me, shall in like sort redound to the glory of God, by the thanksgiving of many.
