We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds;
because that your faith groweth exceedingly: The phrase "groweth exceedingly" is used only once in the New Testament and is translated from the Greek word huperauxano, meaning "to increase beyond measure; to grow exceedingly" (Thayer 640-1-5232).
