*groweth signifies, as Dr. Clarke remarks, to grow luxuriantly
*as a good and healthy tree in a good soil; and if a fruit tree
*bearing an abundance of fruit to compensate the labour of the
*husbandman. Faith is one of the seeds of the kingdom: this
*the Apostle had sowed and watered, and God gave an abundant
*increase. Their faith was multiplied, and their love abounded:
*and this was not the case with some distinguished characters
*only; it was the case with every one of them. For this the
*apostle felt himself bound to give constant thanks to God on
*their behalf, as it was meet and right.
