For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow toward us, so also our comfort through Christ overflows to you.

And God is able to make all grace overflow to you so that because you have enough of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow in every good work.

But as you excel in everything – in faith, in speech, in knowledge, and in all eagerness and in the love from us that is in you – make sure that you excel in this act of kindness too.

For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness excel in glory!

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.

that during a severe ordeal of suffering, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth of their generosity.

because the service of this ministry is not only providing for the needs of the saints but is also overflowing with many thanks to God.
