2 Corinthians 9:10-15
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Also he that findeth seed to the sower, will minister likewise bread for food, and multiply your seed, and increase the [a]fruits of your benevolence.)
11 That on all parts ye may be made rich unto all liberality, which causeth through us thanksgiving unto God.
12 [b]For the ministration of this service not only supplieth the necessities of the Saints, but also abundantly causeth many to give thanks to God,
13 (Which by the [c]experiment of this ministration praise God for your [d]voluntary submission to the Gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution to them, and to all men.)
14 And in their prayer for you, to long after you greatly, for the abundant grace of God in you.
15 [e]Thanks therefore be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
