2 Corinthians 4:13-15
13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

As Psalms 116:13 goes on to say after stating we believe and then speak, “I will take up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.” We who are Christ’s have taken up the cup Jesus did not let pass in order that the price would be paid, calling on His name with the assurance that we will also rise from death to life as He did. Therefore all we do in His name for the gospel’s sake give ever more glory to the worthy One in the thanksgiving all who hear and come to Him offer as well. So we believe, and so we speak these words of life.
