'Given' in the Bible

[while] you also join in helping {on our behalf} by prayer, so that thanks may be given {on our behalf} by many persons for this gracious gift [given] to us through [the help] of many.

Now the one who has prepared us for this very [thing] [is] God, who has given us the down payment, the Spirit.

And all these [things] [are] from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
