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
