2 Corinthians 4:14

‘Knowing that he that raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you.'

For their certainty finally lies in their faith in the resurrection. It is that that makes all else explicable. They know that He Who raised up the Lord Jesus, will also raise them up with Jesus. The ‘with' may indicate the expectation of the Parousia but can equally refer to the resurrection (1 Thessalonians 4:13). This is the final goal of Paul's ministry that makes all worthwhile, the glorious appearing of Jesus Christ, the transformation of the living Christians, the opening of the graves and the resurrection of those who sleep, and the final presentation before God. For then He will present them before Him along with the Corinthian Christians who will share in the Parousia.

We note that in his presentation of the glorious hope awaiting them he includes the Corinthian Christians. His confidence is that they too will be presented before God. His ministry through suffering will not have been in vain. It is after all for them, as well as for others, for whom he undergoes what he does. (Some powerful authorities omit ‘Lord'. That may have been to align this with the other references to ‘Jesus').
