2 Corinthians 4:15
_ _ For — Confirming his assertion “with you” (2 Corinthians 4:14), and “life ... worketh in you” (2 Corinthians 4:12).
_ _ all things — whether the afflictions and labors of us ministers (2 Corinthians 4:8-11), or your prosperity (2 Corinthians 4:12; 1 Corinthians 3:21, 1 Corinthians 3:22; 1 Corinthians 4:8-13).
_ _ for your sakes — (2 Timothy 2:10).
_ _ abundant grace, etc. — rather, “That grace (the grace which preserves us in trials and works life in you), being made the greater (multiplied), by means of the greater number (of its recipients), may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.” [Chrysostom] (2 Corinthians 1:11; 2 Corinthians 9:11, 2 Corinthians 9:12). The Greek is susceptible also of this translation, “That grace, being made the greater (multiplied) on account of the thanksgiving of the greater number (for grace already received), may abound (abundantly redound) to,” etc. Thus the Greek for “abound” has not to be taken in an active sense, but in its ordinary neuter sense, and so the other Greek words. Thanksgiving invites more abundant grace (2 Chronicles 20:19-22; Psalms 18:3; Psalms 50:23). |

For all things — Whether adverse or prosperous. Are for your sakes — For the profit of all that believe, as well as all that preach.

(9) He shows how this constancy is preserved in them, that is, because they are doing it for God's glory, and the salvation of the churches committed to them.
(n) When it will please God to deliver me, and restore me to you, that exceeding benefit which will be poured upon me will in like sort result to the glory of God, by the thanksgiving of many. |
- all:
2 Corinthians 1:4-6 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. ...
