# For everything is for your sake

Here the word "everything" refers to all of the sufferings that Paul has described in previous verses.

# the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to increase to the glory of God

Paul speaks of more and more people experiencing God's grace as if grace were "reaching" people. And, Paul speaks of more and ore people giving thanks to God as if thanksgiving were an object that could become larger by itself. Alternate translation: "God may show his grace to many people, causing more and more people to give thanks, to the glory of God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
