GRACE 2 Corinthians 4:13-15 Part 2 of 2

It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." Since we have 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 to himself. 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.  

and present us with you to himself 
Ephesians 5:27  ... and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Colossians 1:22-23  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--if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
Jude 24-25  To him who is able to keep you from stumbling 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 1:11b  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 enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
