12. For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack amongst the holy ones, but abounds also through much giving of thanks to God;
13. seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Messiah, and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all;
14. while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
15. Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
