2 Corintios 4:15

15 Todo esto es para beneficio de ustedes, y a medida que la gracia de Dios alcance a más y más personas, habrá abundante acción de gracias, y Dios recibirá más y más gloria.

2 Corintios 4:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 4:15

For all things are for your sakes;
&c.] This is a very large and comprehensive expression, and reaches to all the things of Christ, as well as of his ministers. The incarnation, obedience, death, and resurrection of Christ, are all for the sake of God's elect; and so the ministry of his apostles and servants, their gifts, graces, comforts, and experiences; and so likewise all their reproaches, afflictions, and persecutions; see ( 2 Corinthians 1:6 ) . These were endured for their sakes, and tended to their establishment in the faith; were for the furtherance of the Gospel, and of the faith and joy of saints; and this gave no small pleasure and relief to them under their sufferings, that they were of such use to others. Moreover, all their deliverances, when in any imminent danger; were for the sake of the churches:

that the abundant grace;
held forth in their ministrations, manifestly to be seen in supporting them under their troubles, and delivering them out of them:

might through the thanksgiving of many;
for such appearances of divine goodness, see ( 2 Corinthians 1:11 )

redound to the glory of God;
which is another thing that yielded them a pleasing satisfaction, in all their distresses for the sake of Christ, and his Gospel.

2 Corintios 4:15 In-Context

13 Sin embargo, seguimos predicando porque tenemos la misma clase de fe que tenía el salmista cuando dijo: «Creí en Dios, por tanto hablé»
.

14 Sabemos que Dios, quien resucitó al Señor Jesús,
también nos resucitará a nosotros con Jesús y nos presentará ante sí mismo junto con ustedes.

15 Todo esto es para beneficio de ustedes, y a medida que la gracia de Dios alcance a más y más personas, habrá abundante acción de gracias, y Dios recibirá más y más gloria.

16 Es por esto que nunca nos damos por vencidos. Aunque nuestro cuerpo está muriéndose, nuestro espíritu
va renovándose cada día.

17 Pues nuestras dificultades actuales son pequeñas y no durarán mucho tiempo. Sin embargo, ¡nos producen una gloria que durará para siempre y que es de mucho más peso que las dificultades!
