It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
It is written: "I believed, therefore I have spoken."
Psalm 116:10 I believed; therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted."
With that same spirit of faith
1 Corinthians 12:9 ... to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, ...
because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead
Acts 2:24 "But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him."
will also raise us with Jesus
1 Thessalonians 4:14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
and present us with you in his presence
Ephesians 5:27 ... and present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Colossians 1:22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation--...
Jude 24-25 To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy--to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God
2 Corinthians 1:11 Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
2 Corinthians 9:11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
