'Thanks' in the Bible

We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds;

But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;

I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:

When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,

saying: "We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power, and reigned.
