2 Corinthians 9:9-13

Context
9:9 Just as it is written, “He 1  has scattered widely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever.” 2  9:10 Now God 3  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, 4  which is producing through us thanksgiving to God, 9:12 because the service of this ministry is not only providing for 5  the needs of the saints but is also overflowing with many thanks to God. 9:13 Through the evidence 6  of this service 7  they will glorify God because of your obedience to your confession in the gospel of Christ and the generosity of your sharing 8  with them and with everyone.
