2 Corinthians 9:9-14 As it is written, “He scatters everywhere and gives to the poor; his righteousness lasts forever.”

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ As it is written, “He scatters everywhere and gives to the poor; his righteousness lasts forever.” ¹⁰ Now he who supplies seed to the farmer and bread to eat will also supply you with seed and multiply it and enlarge the harvest that results from your righteousness. ¹¹ In every way you will grow richer and become even more generous, and this will cause others to give thanks to God because of us, ¹² since this ministry you render is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, it is also overflowing with more and more prayers of thanksgiving to God. ¹³ Because your service in giving proves your love, you will be glorifying God as you obey what your confession of the Messiah’s gospel demands, since you are generous in sharing with them and with everyone else. ¹⁴ And so in their prayers for you they will long for you because of God’s exceptional grace that was shown to you.
