For all things are for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the manyb may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

JND Translation Notes

+
b
"Grace abounding through the many." The grace of God, perfect in itself, multiplies itself in its objects, so that thanksgiving abounds. Paul was delivered, but everything was for the assembly. It was not therefore merely a benefit to him, but still more to all, so that the grace or benefit was multiplied, and caused thanksgiving to abound to God's glory. The form of thought is peculiar, but the sense plain and striking.

W. Kelly Translation

For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace having multiplied through the greater number might make the thanksgiving abound to the glory of God.
