12 What you are doing is much more than a service that supplies God's people with what they need. It is something that will make many others thank God.
13 The way in which you have proved yourselves by this service will bring honour and praise to God. You believed the message about Christ, and you obeyed it by sharing generously with God's people and with everyone else.
14 Now they are praying for you and want to see you, because God used you to bless them so very much.
15 Thank God for his gift that is too wonderful for words!
