15 For all these things are for your sake, so that the grace that is including more and more people may cause thanksgiving to increase to the glory of God.
15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the manyD8416 may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
many - 'Grace abounding through the many.' The grace of God, perfect in itself, multiplies itself in its objects, so that thanksgiving abounds. Paul was delivered, but everything was for the assembly. It was not therefore merely a benefit to him, but still more to all, so that the grace or benefit was multiplied, and caused thanksgiving to abound to God's glory. The form of thought is peculiar, but the sense plain and striking.
15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
