2 Corinthians 4:15

τὰ γὰρ πάντα διʼ ὑμᾶς κ. τ. λ.: (With you, I say) for all things (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:22) are for your sakes (cf. 2 Corinthians 1:6), that the grace, being multiplied, sc., to me, through the (prayers of the) greater number of you, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God. Cf. 2 Corinthians 1:11, a closely parallel passage, and Philippians 1:19. Except that we have deemed it necessary to translate τῶν πλειόνων literally (see on 2 Corinthians 2:6), the above is the rendering of the R.V. The A.V. “that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God” can hardly be possible, and the position of πλεονάσασα in the sentence seems to require that the words be connected as in R.V. For the transitive significance of περισσεύω see reff.
