2 COR. 1. 11. You also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many, on our behalf.
The Apostle having commemorated the goodness and power of God in his deliverances, attributing all to his mercy; he doth in this verse declare what helps and means were likewise to be used for the accomplishing thereof. For he that trusteth in God alone for any deliverance, doth also diligently use those appointed means, which God hath commanded. Neither doth the goodness and power of God to do any thing for us, disoblige us from a careful attendance to those ways, wherein the mercy is to be obtained.
