2 Corinthians 9:10-15
9:10 Now God 1 who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your supply of seed and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow.
9:11 You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous on every occasion, 2 which is producing through us thanksgiving to God,
9:12 because the service of this ministry is not only providing for 3 the needs of the saints but is also overflowing with many thanks to God.
9:13 Through the evidence 4 of this service 5 they will glorify God because of your obedience to your confession in the gospel of Christ and the generosity of your sharing 6 with them and with everyone.
9:14 And in their prayers on your behalf they long for you because of the extraordinary grace God has shown to you. 7
9:15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! 8
