“I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;”
I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus — Paul's gratitude is not sentimental but theological: the Corinthians have received God's grace (charis). Their gifts and spiritual abundance are not achievements but divine bestowal. This gratitude precedes rebuke and models the posture Paul will urge throughout: boasting in God alone, not in self.
