Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! — *anekdiēgētos* (inexpressible/beyond speech) gift: Christ himself, the Incarnation and Atonement, the *paradigm* of all genuine generosity. The collection is the *response* to this surpassing gift. Gratitude to God frames and motivates all human giving. Paul's doxology brings the collection theology full circle: from grace to generosity to thanksgiving.
