God has done amazing things for them, and they have received His enrichment. Despite all our mixed motives, questionable decisions, and compromised behaviour, God always remains faithful. He it is who continually pours out his love, forgiveness and gifts on us, even despite ourselves. This is why Paul can remain so thankful and so confident.
