so <2531> [as is.]
you ......... your ............. of you <5216> [your.]
flourishes more and more <5232> [groweth.]
The word, [huperauxano <\\See definition 5232\\>,] from [huper <\\See definition 5228\\>,] intensive, and [auxano <\\See definition 837\\>,] to grow, increase, signifies, as Dr. Clarke remarks, to grow luxuriantly, as a good and healthy tree in a good soil; and, if a fruit tree, bearing an abundance of fruit to compensate the labour of the husbandman. Faith is one of the seeds of the kingdom: this the Apostle had sowed and watered, and God gave an abundant increase. Their faith was multiplied, and their love abounded: and this was not the case with some distinguished characters only; it was the case with every one of them. For this the apostle felt himself bound to give continual thanks to God on their behalf, as it was "meet" and right.
